I use a program called Express assist. Great program but it is shareware. It backs up settings and everything.

Well the files are in a back up copy of my old HD. So i tried redduc900's method, and when I point to the directory, it says the iles can't be found or another program has them open. the drive their saved onto isn't even bootable, so I'm not sure why thye'd be open, but the files are all there. . . any ideas. I downloaded express assist too, but it can only restore a backup its made. . .thanks for the help so far, most appreciated
