Hello

recently i was planning to format my main drive (C:\) which contained
windows on it, so i decided to use the file and settings wizard to backup all
my files to my slave drive (F:\). So i did that all fine, and in my F:\ I had
the folder named USMT2.UNC with 7 files, 6 files named from IMG00001.DAT to
IMG00006.DAT and a file named status (no extention). So i went ahead,
formatted my c:\ and reinstalled windows. Now once all that was done i was
left with a fresh copy of windows and a formatted c:\ but with my f:\ (now my
d:\) still intact with all files. So i went to the file and settings transfer
wizard and i chose new computer, and it asked me to navigate where these
files are and what do i get? a window saying:

"The Location that you specified does not contain stored information. Please
Type a valid folder path into the edit box. If you entered a path to a folder
on a removable disk, the disk must be in the drive."

all of which i have done. Now i have 2 questions to ask,

1) How do i extract these files MYSELF without using the wizard
and/or
2) How to resolve this problem as soon as possible

Thankyou in Advance
