Restoring XP files on Vista
I backed up my XP data using XP's file and transfer wizard. I also backed up
the data using Windows One Care backup. I then did a clean install of Vista and now I am trying to restore the XP data. What are my options?

Restoring XP files on Vista
I'm in the same boat. It's like I use XPs Files and Settings Transfer Wizard
and save everything to an external hard drive. Then I install Vista which isn't able to upgrade from XP so I have to do a total install which erases my settings. So I finally get Vista installed and discover it won't accept XPs Files and Settings Wizard. Instead it has a brand new files and settings process. -- It's a chicken or egg conundrum...

Exactly the same problem here. Can't believe they missed that, did anyone
find a solution yet? "sparky52t" wrote: I'm in the same boat. It's like I use XPs Files and Settings Transfer Wizard and save everything to an external hard drive.

Restoring XP files on Vista
Fortunately, I also had an image of my prior XP setup on an external hard
drive and was able to restore back to that.... no thanks to Windows. "Thym" wrote: Exactly the same problem here. Can't believe they missed that, did anyone find a solution yet?
