| | How do I get my old files and settings from USMT2.UNC into Vista? Hello, Yesterday I used XP's File and Settings Transfer (FST) wizard to creat a file called USMT2.UNC on my local harddisk , and then, I formated C: and installed Vista instead. Now I want to transfer the files and settings into Vista but Vista's Easy Transfer won't recognize it. Unfortunately I don't now how to use Vista's Easy Transfer on the original computer (and I can't get the way from the help files). How do I get my old files and settings from this file into Vista? Thanks in advance. |

Vista's Easy Transfer was designed to gather settings info from an XP installation.

| | RE: How do I get my old files and settings from USMT2.UNC into Vista? What you can do is reinstall XP then use FST to reinstall all the settings etc. Then run VISTA easy transfer and you can then reinstall VISTA and have the settings. -- Paul "Azure" wrote: Quote: > Hello, > > Yesterday I used XP's File and Settings Transfer (FST) wizard to creat a > file called > USMT2.UNC on my local harddisk , and then, I formated C: and installed Vista > instead. > Now I want to transfer the files and settings into Vista but Vista's Easy > Transfer won't recognize it. > Unfortunately I don't now how to use Vista's Easy Transfer on the original > computer > (and I can't get the way from the help files). > How do I get my old files and settings from this file into Vista? > > Thanks in advance. > > |
