I think we are running out of options.
Do you happen to have the original .mny file or another copy of that file or
a different backup available?

Hi Everybody, first of all, Kudos to all of you for such a fast responses.
Here are more details:

I have my programs & OS on a RAID0 (striping) HD and data on Raid1 (mirror)
HD. Both are SATA drives. I was able to copy the file into the striping
drive and tried restoring that way but same results.

I have a laptop as well. So I installed Money 2005 on that, updated the
money 2005 and then tried to restore it, same results. There was only one
..mbf file which is why I am confused why it's doing this way. Also, i tried
using the default money location and through browse but getting the same
message. I read somewhere that this issue was resolved in 2008 which is why
I installed 2008 but getting the same results.

But that normally only occured during the backup and not the restore
process. Do you recall any type of problem during the backup to that
harddrive?

Have you tried copying the mbf file to the same drive where Money is
installed? If you get a copy error that could be why Money has problems.
If not try restoring that copy (be sure to "Browse" to a location on you
harddrive where you want the file restore and NOT simply reply on the
default location that was stored in the backup file, since that location may
not exist on your computer)

This almost sounds like the 4G memory stick issue.
Is this "connected single harddrive" an external drive connected via USB,
which Money is thinking is actually a "removable" disk instead of an actual
harddrive?

Check the date and size of the backup. I hope there is another *.mbf
file somewhere for you. Search your drives for *.mny and *.mbf
files. Did you save a backup onto different media such as a USB
flash drive?

Make an extra copy of your .mbf file.

From XP, either open the sample.mny file in your install folder, or
let Money 2005 create a new Money file, clicking Decline in the
process. It will do an update. Close Money. Then open Money and
check that Help-> About... says you then have version 14.0.*.1105.

Then you should be able to open or restore your existing files.

I have money 2005 backup file (.mbf) and my original file has gotten
corrupted somehow and can't repair it (computer hung and had to be
restarted). Whenever I try to restor the backup file, I get the following
message,

Window Title: Money Multiple Disk Backup

Message: Please insert the next backup disk. (The disk containing file "".)

I was backing up on a different connected single harddrive and there is only
one file. The file is not in multiple pieces and on different drives. When
I click OK, it doesn't do anything and cancel just stops the process.

I even downloaded the 2008 version and I am getting the same problem.

Any help will graetly be appreciated.

Thank you,
