windows 7 easy transfer probleme "cannot open file"

Question

I did the easy transfer on the win7 ver 86 on the "same computer" using different had drives. subsequently to preforming the restore I manuallly copied and pasted the easy transfer file to one of the other (4) hard drives to make romm for the install on my drive of choice. Aftarwards i found WET cannot open the file. So I am keeping the easy transfer foldr in case i find a way to open the contents which I really would like to havve "old pictures of family".  It is a 70 gig Mig file along with all the files that come when you do an easy transfer. To complicate matters I have since switched my system to the 64 bit version. this week I will be installing the RTM. Howevr I will kjeep this 70 gig windows transfer file inhopes that there is a way to access individual files. I am no longer interested in having the easy transfer rstore all my settings. I simply want to get at the "My Pictures" file and maybe the "my docum,ents"

Right now when I run the easy transfer program and go thjrou the motions it just says "cannot open file"

Thanks in advance for any help and for moving this to a more approppriate forum if needed.

Hi Davgai, this forum is for software developers who are using the Open Protocol Specification documentation to assist them in developing systems, services, and applications that are interoperable with Windows. The Open Protocol Specifications can be found at: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc203350.aspx. Since your post does not appear to be related to the Open Protocol Specification documentation set we would appreciate it if you could try the 'Getting Ready for Windows 7' forum (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/GettingReadyforWindows7/threads/) instead to find the information you are looking for. Thanks!
