| | Can I browse .MIG files? Does anyone know of a way I can open an MIG file that was created with the Easy Transfer wizard so I can see what files are in it, without having to actually copy them all to my machine? I'm looking for a particular file. My MIG file is 16GB in size. The instructions for the Easy Transfer wizard suggests that I should be able to see the files contained in the MIG file during the restore process, but all I see is a list of folders that I can review; no files. The instructions say I can click the "Customize" button to choose what files and/or setting I want to restore, but there is no "Customize" button; only a "Transfer" button. As soon as I click the "Transfer" button, the transfer starts and I abort it. I never get a chance to browse a list of files. Is it possible that if I let the transfer continue I will see such a browse list before anything actually gets transfered? The instructions also say I should click the "Start" button to start the transfer, but, again, all I have is a "Transfer" button; there's no buttons labeled "Start" or "Customize." |
