I found the following on another support site which may very well have some relevance to your problem:

"I ran into the same problem a while back. The problem is that you are using
and used two different versions of the FST Wizard.

I assume when you reformatted the new drive and loaded XP you did all the latest Windows updates? If so see if you installed KB896344.

This is an upgrade of the FSTW and if you used an older version to export your settings you must use the same version to import them. You have two choices here. Either upgrade the old computer with the KB896344 and rerun the FTSW or downgrade the newer one and remove KB896344."
