Hi Dude,
Sorry for late reply,actually I saw this post today only.Happy to meet one more expert from tamilnadu.I hope you know the basic details like selecting fields in output symbol,date,time,open,high,low,close,volume & periodicity to intraday,Date range for the data you have posted select first & laste to 01/01/04.Finally the date format in your file is ddmmyyyy but metastock accepts only this format yyyymmdd.So change the data accordingly by opening your source file in notepad and under edit menu choose replace option and enter 01012004,20040101 choose replace all then save the file.Use this file with metastock downloader that's it.

:)
