Louie_Carter Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 My wife's laptop crashed, but we were able to save the all of the data, documents,photos, etc. However, Chief that she used (X2) was lost, but we have the Chief X2 Data files. I have installed my old copy of X4 onto her new machine. Is there any way to recover her Chief Bonus Files, Manufacturer Files, and User Files that she was using from those data files and migrate them into her X4 on the new computer? Thanks.

Joe_Carrick Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Louie, Can't you import those? I think it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie_Carter Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Long time since I've worked with the program. I'll try an import. Wasn't sure what route I could take on this. Thanks for the suggestion. Anyone else have other ideas, I'd love to hear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I think it would be Library Import. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoooNYandyk Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 As I know your situation, it is an encompassing feeling of anxiety over the risk of losing important information. When my laptop was damaged in a fire, I knew that I could not get the data back from the HDD on my own. Fortunately, I was advised to contact SalvageData for data recovery services. The first thing I did after data recovery was to buy an SSD. My choice was the Samsung 860 EVO SSD 1TB SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5" Read 550MB/s V-NAND MLC Genuine New from Aliexpress. Now I'm constantly backing it up so I don't get in a stressful situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
