    I think I made a mistake, but maybe someone here can help...

    I used the files & settings transfer wizzard in windows xp home to save my data. I reinstalled windows xp home & tried to do a restore via file & settings transfer wizzard, but it's not working. I get the following message:

    "The location that you specified does not contain stored information. Please type a valid folder path into the edit box. If you entered a path to a folder on a removable disk, the disk must be in the drive."

    I followed the instructions here:

    Is there a way to extract the image data & restore the stuff at this point?

    found the solution!
    I just needed to point to the parent directory, not the .unc folder directly.
