Corruption in File and Settings Transfer Wizard files

[Guest]

Hi,

A colleage of mine tried to use the FSTW to back up his PC - now he's trying
to get the data back but it looks like one or more of the IMG0000?.DAT files
is corrupted. Specifically file IMG00001.DAT is 0 bytes in size. The others
(10 or so) are all about 2 gigs (the last is obviously smaller).

Is there any way of extracting the files out of the .DAT files without using
the FSTW tool which just complains that it can't read the files...

Many Thanks for any help, Jeremy
