Files and settings transfer wizard problem

[Mike Zuiderveen]

I decided I wanted to backup all my data and reload
Windows from scratch. I backed up my Outlook Express email
and some folders using the files and settings transfer
wizard. I backed them up to a folder named "backup". In
the backup folder the wizard created a subfolder
named "USMT2.UNC". In that subfolder there are two files
named IMG0001.DAT and status. When I try to run the wizard
again it says "The location that you specified does not
contain stored information. Please type a valid folder
path into the edit box." If anyone can help me get my
files back I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
