Having trouble restoring Medisoft v14 sp2 data

[Gavin Walker]

Want to migrate data that was backed up on Medisoft v14 sp2 to a new computer. Medisoft v14 was installed from the CD, but when a restore backup is attempted, Medisoft keeps prompting to insert the last disk of the set.

In this case the problem was the CD had Medisoft v14 without any service packs. Medisoft v14 sp2 started using a different backup program that compresses the files using WinRar technology. Prior versions of Medisoft used WinZip technology. Therefore the older Medisoft backup programs cannot read backups from Medisoft v14 sp2 or higher.

The solution to this problem is to install Medisoft v14 sp2 prior to attempting the Medisoft restore. Medisoft v14 sp2 is free to download on this topic.
