I would try making a back up copy and restoring it on the new machine, Maybe
you missed a file in the process of burning the files.

Are these folder or file names? What you need to find is the main quicken
file that has a qdf extension. There several other files that go with that
main file. These are the ones that you need to copy to the floppy or CD.
