Backup & Restore from XP to Win 2000

[SnailUK]

I am a new member of this site and through your help have upgraded my old SK95 to SK98 and installed it on my Windows XP machine and my Windows 2000 Laptop. (SK95 worked fine on the Win XP pro machine by the way!).

In order to syncronise the two systeme, I backed up the Win XP files to a floppy and the tried to do a restore onto the Laptop, however I got a mesage saying there was not enough hard disk space to do this. There was in fact some 3GB free!!

In the end I just copied all the files straight into the userdata folder on the laptop. The contacts worked ok, but the callender did not copy accross. Does anybody have any ideas?

I also have the problem with the carrying forward of 'to do' items, but there are plenty of posts on this that I have yet to fully explore.

Dear SnailUK,
Please see this page at Starfish.com:
It describes the way to backup and restore Sidekick98 Userdata.(Copy the Link and then remove the gaps I put in it)

Dear Jim
Thanks for thr response. However I have already followed these instructions to the letter (number!) but when I reach step 4 in the restore sequence I get the message saying that there is not enough space on the drive to complete the restore, which is not true.

By the way, do you know if it is eventually possible to get SK98 to carry forward to do iteme and calls whwn run under Win 2000, or am I wasting my time trying?

Dear Snail,

Don't use the backup and restore facility, just
SaveAs the Calendar to a floppy disc
and open it in calendar view on the Laptop,
then save it to UserData
