When trying to do this through the network:
Error message: The wizard cannot locate your new computer make sure the new
computer is turned on and that your network is working properly.
The computers can ping each other. They can map to each other and access
files on each other.

When trying to do this through gathering the information and saving it to a
network, usb or cd:

Error: Your migration store was created with a previous version of Files and
Settings Transfer Wizard. Please collect your settings using the current
version of the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. It is available on the
Windows XP CD under Perform Additional Tasks. You can also create a wizard
disk by running the wizard on your Windows XP computer.

I've tried turning off the firewall but still same errors. Local admin on
both machines. Cannot do it even if I am using a domain admin account.
 
Also same problem...the old computer that the files were collected from last
year is no longer available, but I HAVE to restore these files to collect
some data...there has to be a way to downgrade the newer computer so that
FAST will find them...the new version should have been backward compatible!
