Files and settings transfer wizard Problems: aka FAST, FSTW

Hello, after formatting my hard drive, I notice I forgot to copy the invisible e-mail files, I ran the FSTW as a backup of my backup. I ran the FSTW and stored my data to a network drive before completing a clean reinstall on my laptop of Windows XP Pro. I received the following error.
Quote:
Cannot complete the transfer

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.

The FSTW retrieved 9gigs of data off the 3 partitions of my 30gig hard drive. Having the partitioned hard drive was a real big problem for me in the past.

After installing an USB external 250gig hard drive and running the FSTW over the network. The FSTW moves 2.5gigs of data over the network to the USB drive and then stops, I still get the same above error.

I have tried fastconv, but this DOS base software is too complicated for me and all I get is error notices, maybe this is why windows stop supporting it years ago.

I have reinstalled windows several times with the SP2 cd, trying different combinations, partitions, patches and Outlook and software updates. I have ran the FSTW more then 12 times, I just hope to fine my invisible e-mails files

I have spent many nights reading other Posts and web sites on the web about this problem, nothing helps! Does anyone here know of a working cure for me? Thank you

Bob
