I created a back up file of my computer using XP (just the standard issue). When I try and restore the back up files the computer does not recognise them. The dialog states that the location does not contain the files, but it does. There are 7 IMG (DAT) files around 2GB each. They are located on an external drive under a file called USMT2.UNC. There is also a "status" file of only 1KB.

was the volume you backed up NTFS or FAT32?

I have checked the file type on the Externl drive. It is NTFS. So is the current computer HD.

trying to use the wizard to transfer your old files and settings to the new computer, you simply point to the folder containing the USMT2.unc folder. Not into it.
If you want to copy the entire folder over, then copy and paste the whole folder.
XP only wants to see the location containing the USMT2.unc
