Reloading data from backup CD

Post by Bob Dodd » Sun Dec 18, 2005 11:49 am

I have just got a new computer and have tried to import data back up from cd but found that the photos do not bring up the correct picture when you click on the thumbnail. I have found that the photo numbers in Of That Ilk do not corespond with the ones on the backup disc. How should I go about importing the data from the backup disc ?

I can't think of any reason why the photo file names should be different.

All you need to do to get the data back from the CD is to copy the entire database folder back onto your hard drive, including the Pictures folder. Sometimes you also need to change the "Read-only" flag on each file after copying.
