Ok there may still be hope - I just did a search for deleted items scan which is obv the wrong type - just reran the wizard on getdataback and did a sustained damage scan for drives which have been wiped.
Windows XP to Win 7 easy transfer - what a crock of ****

If you've got a spare HDD laying around big enough to fit win7 and his backup on, just do the installation on that then transfer it over with Norton Ghost.

If you're unable to copy mig10, that would suggest your USB drive is knackered no? Why not try checkdisk etc on that first?
to confirm you obsorvation before you WILL loose file and folder names, this is because
the software scans the drive and recoganises the files by the file header, all the meta data, files names and folder names have been lost for ever... it will jsut get you back a load of JPG files... all the intyernet cache will come bac kas well...

Sounds to me like a problem with your USB drive rather than with Easy Transfer.
The mig10 file is corrupted. Copy all the other mig files off the drive and then run something like CHKDSK to try to repair the USB disk. With any luck, the corruption is in the file table rather than in the file itself.

Good to see you got it sorted Nothing worse than telling a customer you ballsed up and lost their stuff (I did, once )
Lession for anyone reading this in the future is - don't rely on Windows to back up your data!
