Using “files easy transfter” i transfter files on external disc, file USMT2.UNC

I reinstaled windows xp and tried to use “easy transfter” ( funny name considering it all but not easy), i select location, select file and then i get message: The location that you have specified dos not contain stored information. Please type a valing folder path in to edit box.

I tried variuse options but all failed, USMT2.UNC file is 16gb and inside 8 DAT files and status file. Any advice? Thanks!

That seems to indicate that the path you typed is incorrect. Are you positive that you typed it in perfectly?

Paste it in here, so we can check it.

The USMT folder (User State Migration Tool) contains the data store, created
when you use Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to collect files/settings
You need to follow the exact same steps in retrieving the files!
