Utorrent will not locate torrents

[walkjp1]

I had to do a clean install of my operating system and Utorrent. I pointed the directory at the hard drive that I always put my torrents and downloads in. However, Utorrent will not find my old files and torrents, some of which were not completed. I would really like it to find the uncompleted ones so that I can finish downloading them. I have reinstalled Utorrent before and never had this problem. Any Help?

Have you read and followed the migration guide steps?

Did you recreate the directory structure and drive letter assignment exactly as it was and copy over the .dat files?

I have always installed to the same directory. Never had to copy over the .dat files, and don`t know how. All that information might have been erased . But the old files are still in the same directory.Never had this problem before.

Without the resume.dat to 'tell' uTorrent where the payload data is, the client doesn't even 'know' the files exist.

Without the metadata files (.torrent) the client doesn't 'know' how the payload data should be reconstructed (or deconstructed for checking)

and don`t know how.

Read the uTorrent Owners Manual in the section titled "Settings Directory"

Apparently all of the files I needed may have been erased when I did a fresh install of the operating system. I use a separate drive for all my downloads for Emule and Utorrent. Emule saves all of my partial files on this drive in a TEMP folder. But unfortunately Utorrent does not seem to do the same.
