You may have stored files in a location which you have forgotten about. As such, you may miss these files out of your back-up procedure and so they will not be transferred across to your Ubuntu installation. To find files of a specific type, regardless of their location, follow this procedure:

While applications available for Ubuntu support most common file types, there are still many file types which are not supported. If you have files in an unsupported format, it is recommended that you try to convert them to a supported format before switching. This section covers some common, unsupported or only partially-supported file types and lists possible alternatives and methods of conversion.

Unfortunately, due to legal restrictions and technical issues with some common audio formats, Ubuntu cannot play some audio formats out-of-the-box. While support for certain restricted formats can be added after you have installed Ubuntu, it can be advantageous to convert audio files to a well-supported format. This is especially important if the files have been encoded using some form of <emphasis>Digital Rights Management (DRM)</emphasis> software, as DRM restrictions can render files unplayable in all applications but the one in which they were applied.

It is possible to back-up your Windows installation as a whole, using a <emphasis>disk imaging utility</emphasis>. Such a utility creates an exact copy of your current Windows installation, which can be saved to several discs. If you experience a major problem when migrating, having a disk image allows you to restore your Windows installation fully without losing any data or settings. However, disk imaging utilities can be expensive and also require a great deal of storage space.

Ubuntu does not currently provide disk-imaging software, and so such software can only be obtained from third party suppliers.
