    i have saved all my files and settings to an external hard drive using the files and settings transfer wizard. when i run the wizard on my new computer it has an error saying:
    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.

    To close this wizard, click Finish
    there is plenty of room as i hav about 80gb space on the hard drive
    many thanks in advance

    Hi,

    Welcome to the WindowsBBS.

    Did you get the update for the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard?

    It's linked from this MSKB article: Files and Settings Are Not Transferred When You Use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard

    Next, you should read here: How to Troubleshoot Issues with the User State Migration Tool and the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard

    Specifically point 4:
