I am afraid this one has got me Dave! With you saying a"new machine" in your first post, I took it to mean a new PC, so now I am even more at a loss.
I very rarely import a GEDCOM so I am not sure how the process ends, but I do vaguely remember having to use cancel at least once.

No backup, no USB, etc. I just added a new drive to my computer and installed Win7 on it. Since the old drive was still in the system I just copied fdb from the old drive to the new c: drive after installing Legacy. I do use IDrive to backup my files to the Internet. As another test I downloaded the most recent backup from IDrive and tried that. The result was the same. I believe all drives are NTFS. No, I'm not using a gedcom to import although I'm trying that to see if I can get something to work. I typically have used export gedcom with the convert to html option for import to TNG and that has always worked great too. But since I don't have TNG reinstalled yet I haven't tried that. But I was going to try the same export option and reimport to Legacy to see if that helps. But I'm having a problem there right now too. I exported "all", UTF-8, "Convert formatting codes to HTML". When importing back it appears to import all of the file (# of people, families, etc.) but the importing dialog box never goes away. It looks like it's complete but but there's no "complete", "done", etc. button, only "Cancel".

I am at something of a loss if that is the case – it’s a process which I use regularly without problem. I wonder if your USB stick may be using a different File System ie.. FATS whilst your PCs are using NTFS, or some other variation of the two, although I would not expect that to cause a problem. If you are copying the .fdb file, have you tried copying the back-up and using File>File Restore to get it into your Win7 installation? I freely admit that I am on a fishing trip here! Another thought which comes to mind, although a little more messy would be to use Dropbox, or load it into the Cloud eg. MSN Skydrive (I think it’s still around) and copy that way. Like Dennis thought, when I got into bed I was wondering if you were using a GEDCOM, but apparently not.

I just added a new drive for win7. And I still had the old drive available.
