I backed up some data for a user using the XP backup program, writing the data to a file on a portable hard drive. Now I want to restore that data do a different machine and I can't even see it on the backup.

I am 99% sure this has to do with NTFS permissions (the drives on both machines are NTFS).

How can I restore this data? I need help FAST.

Thank you.

Create the same USER on the NEW Machine (The user name/domain login must be exactly the same as the already existing user on the Backup machine)=>When you're ready check up documents&settings folder for the proper user name/settings on both machines if they are the same proceed with the Restore on the NEW machine...
