Sugeestion:

Step 1: Copy the file to your hard drive.
Step 2: Verify the extension is .mny
Step 3: Run a scan disk on the file
Step 4: Open Microsoft Money using the sample file
Step 5: Select File/Open then point to your backup file.

If this does not resolve the problem, you will have to start over.

Good luck

Probably not.

Are you able to copy the backup files to the hard drive?
