I had the same issue as Mike. I did a backup from an XP SP3 machine to a network disk. I then reformatted and installed XP from a vendor supplied XP SP2 disk. When I tried to restore, I got the “… does not contain stored information” error. After upgrading to SP3 it worked fine. I have to believe that this is a common situation – you want to restore your settings to a new machine or to the original machine after a reformat / reinstall. Readers need to know that they must be on the same exact version and patch of the OS for it to work. Shame on you, Microsoft – it either should not have been a problem or you should have made this issue clear!

How did we survive before Al Gore invented the internet? This was so helpful! Thanks for saving me the pain of thrashing my head on my desk b/c I couldn’t figure it out! You’re a genius!

Dude, you’re brilliant. Works as promised. Saved me a couple hours of raging headaches. I was able to transfer my files between computers. Thanks, bub.
