What the heck is Magic Data Transfer?

Operating System: XP Pro_SP3

I purchased Rollback Rx 9.0 from Horizon DataSys.

The install fails because during the first reboot after the install

this weird "magic data transfer" error appears in the boot list.

The boot cannot continue. I always create a fresh image before

I install any app that might be problematic, so I had no trouble

restoring the system.

Horizon responds quickly when you have a problem. They created

a "fixed" copy of this app for me, but it didn't resolve the problem.

Their latest suggestion is to trash the entire system and do a fresh

install! I have no idea whether this is a software or hardware conflict.

I do know the system is otherwise healthy, so I'm not going to start

from zero just to see if a fresh install of XP will fix Rollback.

If you search for this "magic data transfer" the results are a surprise,

to say the least! It's a cell phone app.

Here's a Google link:

Scroll down to "cell phone magic - download files to your cell phone."

There are many listings about this app if you keep searching.

The question is, what could I possibly have installed on my desktop that

would list this "magic data transfer" during a reboot, and why is it appearing

only when I try to install Rollback?

"magic data transfer' sounds like some form of malware, unless the Rollback RX software had an error and created a corrupted boot entry. I would try installing Rollback RX in a VirtualBox guest running a clean install of XP Pro SP3 to see if the problem could be replicated.
