'Unrecognized data' in backup
I am trying to restore files/folders to my Toshiba laptop which runs XP Pro.
The backup is from my old XP Pro IBM desktop. I copied it from a Seagate harddrive that I had installed as a drive F in the desktop to a Seagate USB harddrive that I run as drive E in the laptop. The result is that an error window opens. It is headed 'Unrecognized media' and gives the message 'The backup file contains unrecognized data and cannot be used.' I note that this is a known error with backups when they are created in older versions of Windows. But this was created in XP. Can anyone offer me a solution? I'm baffled. |

Contact the maker of the backup software to see if they have repair/recovery tools. HTH -pk |

The maker is Microsoft. It is the System Tools backup and restore application.
