the File settings and transfer wizard won't work for me. On the old computer (this one before reformat) I ran it and it successfully backed up my files (only, I didn't want settings backed up). Then I reformatted (and the puter deleted its system files, so I reformatted again, found a trojan, Since its removal the puters been fine, I don't know how it could have gotten there since I did a full reformat). Now I have installed stuff on this computer, because I had a manual backup too. But the one thing I really needed was inside a .rar file and it became corrupted when I moved it or something happened, regardless what was inside it does not work now.
So I go into the wizard and select new computer.
Tried the next option "I already have a wizard disk" and "I don't need a wizard disk" but both ways comes up with an error..
An error occurred while the wizard was loading your data.
The wizard cannot create the data needed to save your settings. Make sure you have enough disk space available.
I have 65.9 GB of free space on my C drive. The folder with the backup is 31.2 GB..
USMT2.UNC is the folder it has 16 .IMG files and one status file (without an extension. Please tell me this IS supposed to be 1KB) The folder is on my portable hard drive, which is 59.5 GB (6.87 GB free).
I have windows XP, with service pack two installed. They are both legal lol.
I hope someone can help me...My manual backup has less that a 8th of the stuff I need.
EDIT: I did search, and what I found didn't help me
I have all the updates I need/should have to my knowledge.

As for the corrupt .RAR file: Do you use WinRAR to handle .RAR archives? If you do, I believe WinRAR has a feature where you can instruct it to see if it can recover files within a corrupted archive. Here are some instructions on how to do it with WinRAR.
Personally, I never make computer-wide backups with F.A.S.T. because the files created can only be read by F.A.S.T. and if one image becomes corrupted then all files in that archive are corrupted. I prefer to manually burn my personal files to optical media or move them to another hard disk. If one file gets corrupted it is not as bad as if all of them came to this fate.

The .rar itself isn't corrupted, the program inside it became corrupted. Only the setup file, which I had to pay for and cannot get another of, the other files (text and two other tiny programs (tb tray and tray it applications) were fine).
The wizards files aren't corrupted...to my knowledge, I will look into this though, thank you
What am I supposed to do? There are so many files I need. I managed to find a backup on CD with the program but I need my files, they were school projects...I can't afford to lose them!
