Your old hard drive has been formatted, so the *.mny file is no
longer available. You are trying to restore to your reinstall of
Money 2002.

I would copy each file from the backup floppies to the same
directory/folder. This will give you an extra backup and will
separate any problems of reading the floppy media from some other
potential problem. This is not the common way, and it is not
usually necessary. But especially if it is my only backup, I would
consider the copy to hard disk step.

The files will be named *d1.mbf, *d2.mbf, *d3.mbf and so on.

In WE, double-click the *d1.mbf file. That should launch Money and
start the restore. When Money prompts for the next diskette, click
OK.

If you are restoring directly from floppy diskette, you can insert
the first floppy and double click the *d1.mbf file. Change
diskettes when prompted.

You will have a chance to change the location or filename for where
the restored data will go. If this is a different computer, it is
especially good to browse to a location. The old location may not
even exist.

Thanks for your response Bob,
O/S is XP.
No errors....it seems to read the discs ok, but the information never shows
up in Money.
When I try using "open", it reads the first disc, then when I try the 2nd
disc I get an error saying "not first disc, cannot open".

I've used MS Money 2002 for the past 6 years.
I recently got a virus and had to have the computer re-set, I apparently
lost the saved back-up files.
I have the files on disc, but I have been unable to re-install them on Money
2002.
I've tried "restore backup files", "import" and "open", with no good results.
Any ideas?
