crashed Pc file transfer (XP to Vista)
 
I recently had a failure on an XP system and upgraded to Vista.  I could not boot the old installation to make a Bat backup but can transfer file from the old hard drive to the vista installation.

Asd recommended in some posts I found here: I copied the old Bat program folder to the new drive and ran the bat.exe walking through the setup created a temporary profile and setup the new bat file location.

Next I copied all the bat Mail folder items (mail addresses, attachments etc to the new mail folder.

when I run bat only the temp profile is available. what do I need to do to make bat see the copied data? I could not fine an ini or settings file in the bat program folder to work with

Is the a better way to do this in my situation.

thanks in advance
Robert
 
Wrong sequence. :-)

The idea is to copy the mail directory to the new computer and install TB and point it to the copied mail directory.
Anyway, as you copied the data to the new computer, create a new account and give it the same name name as it had on your old pc, TB should reognize the existing config.
