I'm still using Quicken 4.0 on my PC. The HDD crashed hard, forcing me to buy a new one, and reinstall Quicken. Luckily, I had the foresight to have a backup (.QB1, .QB2). However, Quicken chokes when I try to restore it. It won't seem to repopulate my accounts or the data in the accounts. Am I missing something? Is going with the latest version going to make the restoration process any easier? Is there a cocatenated .qbxxx file that is created when a restore is performed that I can use?
HELP!!!!

Restore into the same version of Quicken you origionaly had...Then upgrade...
If you move to a newer version of Quicken, you need to have your data intact, then upgrade as Quicken has changed the data format a couple of times...

Doesnt quicken back up save its files as QDATA.QDF? How did you get *.QD1?
BTY: When backing up switch media at least everyother, for instance, use one floppy one time, and different the second.

Be grateful it was just your Quicken file, and not your actual money.
