This is just ANOTHER example of MS not doing ANY joined-up thinking AT ALL.
The same thing happened with the backup utility in Windows 98 - the files
couldn't be read by the XP backup utility, and now the backup files created
in XP can't be read by Vista.
I'm afraid, AFAIK, that your only course of action is to find an XP machine,
restore the data and use some other method of transferring it.
