[SOLVED] Corrupt FAST Images
i backed up my data using files and settings transfer wizard before i replaced my corrupt hard drive with the new one dell sent me. everything went to my external hard drive, and the files compressed fine and everything. now i cant get them to extract using the wizard. i have tired everything with the wizard and it says that the directory doesn't have the files at all. the folder "USMT2.UNC" wont do anything. they are .dat files. can someone help me figure out how to extract my files? i have taken them off the external and tried doing it from my desktop as well. i keep hearing about a tool called FASTconv but I dont know how to use it. any help would be appreciated!

If you still have the old drive, it might be easier to attach it as a slave and copy your files

Ouch . . usually all you have to do is run their drive diagnostics. I don't use FAST, but see if this helps:

Are you using the same version of XP as before?
If you had SP 2 installed when you created the backup - then SP 2 has to be installed to restore it.

What's the name of the DAT file? It should be IMG00001.DAT.
Another file named Status should also be in the USMT2.UNC folder.
If KB896344 is installed - try removing it.

Re: Corrupt FAST Images
Right click the files >> Properties and make sure they're not "read only".
If the KB896344 update isn't installed - do that.
Look at posts no. 1 & 2 here for FASTconv instructions: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t24464.html

"anyone with any knowledge of FASTconv, here is what i am doing
I have a folder in c:\ called FAST that contains the folder des, temp, and my USMT2.UNC folder along with FASTconv. here is the exact command line i use:
