I have backed up my files and settings to a networked
computer in my home. I did a quick ntfs format and did a
clean install of win xp pro. I then copied my .dat files
back to the computer and did a files and settings
transfer wizzard and get an error message before it
finishes. The error is: Cannot complete the transfer, an
error occured while the wizzard was loading you data.
Then it says make sure you have enough disk space
avaiable.

Well I have plenty of disk space, so thats not the prob.
I have got lost of importand info. in these .dat files
anyone that can help me out I would be greatful to.

FAT32 will not support a file size greater than 4GB, so there may be a major
issue copying the .dat file. Suggest the user import directly from the
network location.
