Fax & Scan: copying old faxes to a new install?
I have a Vista64 install. I've added another drive & installed Win7-64 for a dual-boot environment. I want to copy the old incoming & sent faxes from the vista install, to the Win7 install. I've gone to /ProgramData/Microsoft/WindowsNT/MSFax and copied the Inbox and SentItems dirs from the Vista drive to Win7 drive. But Fax & Scan doesn't show the old faxes. I'm assuming there's another (or more) files somewhere I need to copy. Any suggestions? Once I'm comfortable that the Win7 install is solid and the all the hardware is happy, I plan on dropping the Vista drive from the box.

Hi, Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet forums. After checking your issue, it seems a permission issue. Try take ownership of the folders and files and then copy again. Please refer: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753659.aspx Hope it works. Regards, Leo Huang TechNet Subscriber Support in forum.
