• Easy transfer cable detection problem

  While trying to transfer files etc. from old computer using Windows XP Professional version 2002 service pack 3 for new computer using Windows 7, I get a message on the old computer indicating "Cable Easy Transfer undetected." The cable is fine because it works with another computer.

  FOR ANYONE WHO IS STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM I THOUGHT IT!

  Shouldn't the Systemengineer Microsoft had to know this?

  Here's what worked for me.

  1. on your XP machine, check if you have Windows XP 32 bit (x 86) that you use/download version 32-bit (x 86) Windows Easy Transfer.

  2 install.

  3. you must now do a right-click 'my computer' and select 'Properties'. Go to the "hardware" tab and click on "Device Manager".

  3. now that you're 'Device Manager' connect your easy transfer cable.

  4. it should refresh and you should now see 'cable devices transfer' (mine had a question mark logo, which indicates that the driver was not installed...) Click the small 'sign' next to him and less must be something called 'Simple cable USB transfer' (this is what it says for my Dynex brand cable anyway...)

  5. right click and select "Properties". Go to the tab "driver", then click on "Update Driver".

  6. the "Welcome to the Hardware Update Wizard" should appear. Select "install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and click "Next".

  7. Select "Search for the best driver in these locations" and also select "include this location in the search:

  8. now click on 'Browse' and navigate to the folder where Windows Easy Transfer installed in (something like7\cable C:\Program Files\Windows Easy Transfer according to your drive letter) "cable" is important. This is the driver. Now click 'ok'.

  9. click on ""Next ' and it should be a small thing of research. " Then when it's done it will probably say that your driver has been installed. It must not be an exclamation mark next to the name in "Device Manager" more.

  10. now run Windows Easy Transfer and it should recognize the cable. It actually automatically recognize the cable now when you plug it in.

  For some reason when you install Windows Easy Transfer it does not install the cable driver and you must do it manually.

  Now, I had another problem with mine. He repeated (on my Win7 machine) that it would take something ridiculous like 4 hours... then on my XP machine, a box would come and say "Trying to reconnect" and everything to stall. Disable your screen saver, screen off and standby (in power settings) on both computers. If that not help I also found that you do the transfer in the sections, do not try to transfer ALL in one session. As I made my photos, and when this was done I did my music, etc...

  I really hope this helps someone. I hope I've heard a few comments!

• I'm trying to transfer data from hard disk of Vista again Windows 7 with the StarTech easy transfer cable. Is not interesting! Help please?

  Perhaps you use a defective cable, and also a standard USB cable cannot be used to transfer files and settings between computers.

  I suggest you to make Windows easy transfer on a network.

• Are there 'different easy transfer cables? "

  I'm confused about the number of available easy transfer cables.

  Can I buy a cable 'alone' and it allows to facilitate the easy transfer of OS from Microsoft at the following address:

  XP, Vista, Windows 7?

  If I can, what cable do I, there seems to be so many available?

  Best regards

  Mike Lynch

  Hi Mike,.

  The cable is specific to the connection of two computers, in order to avoid a short circuit, because the two USB ports on computers are powered:

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Easy_Transfer_Cable

  Similar to a crossover cable:

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_cable

  They are not operating system specific, more specific material.

  I think you'll be OK with one, but ask the manufacturer to be sure.

• USB easy transfer cable question

  bought this after the visit of this forum, but I'm still lost, not really computer savy with regard to this kind of procedure. I have an old computer that I want to transfer photos/media on my new computer, the Member of the forum said it would be the easiest way, so I bought it. But still I don't know how to do this. Make:

  (a) follow my old computer, plug in the cpu of the computer, plug the usb cable and do it this way? or I don't

  (b) plug the new computer, disassemble the old computer, but plug the CPU? I'm really not understanding how it will work, because I need to be able to view what I do from your old computer (to the extent where to locate the files to be transferred).

  any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thnx.

  Hello again,

  You may want to leave the old computer intact with keyboard/mouse and connected to a monitor. You want to set up your new computer with mouse/keyboard and the monitor. Now, follow these instructions to eHow on How to use an easy transfer cable. You will need to install the software provided with the cable to both computers and when you are prompted, you connect the USB cable to both computers.

  I hope this helps.

• Where is the driver for Easy Transfer cable end XP?

  I bought a new cable Easy Transfer to transfer XP sp3 (Dell Dimension 2300) for Win 7 laptop. When I plug in the cable on your old computer, the Device Manager regnized cable, but shows no driver installed. The CD that came with the cable has no driver. So where can I download this call so 'pilot for older computers XP' in order to talk to win 7 laptop? The driver is assumed installation in XP, no machine computers Win - 7, but must "talk" to Win - 7 later.

  Hello Linnex,

  Thank you for your message.  Have you installed the software on your XP computer before you plug the cable?  Have you tried all of these steps?  If so, could you please let us know the results of each step?
  If the easy transfer cable is not working properly, you can try a few things to fix the problem. Make sure that you have installed the drivers of the cable easy transfer on your old computer with CD included in the package of cable. If you do not, close Windows Easy Transfer, insert the CD that came with the easy transfer cable into your old computer and follow the instructions on the screen. When it is complete, repeat the transfer process.

  USB ports can be another cause of the problem. When Windows Easy Transfer prompts you to connect your computers with the easy transfer cable, try to plug the cable into the other USB ports on your computer.

  See you soon

• Records of e-mail transfer using USB data transfer cable?

  I am trying to transfer some files I've done (original line or match purchases I had to record, etc. etc) in Windows Live Mail on my XP PC, on my Vista PC, I have the same version of Windows Live Mail on both PCs, but in Live Mail options (as opposed to the way it was in Outlook Express) You can import MAIL, but not the files, is there a way to transfer records I did and send them to my Windows Live Mail Vista from my old PC, so I can get those records as I did on the old PC?

  I have a USB data transfer cable, I also DISH internet so it limits the bandwidth and after all the Windows updates I did in Vista this month, I'm at my limit of data for the month, so I prefer to use the easy transfer cable, if possible, so how do I get records user performed off Live Mail of 1 PC the other PC and in Live Mail on this one?

• Problems with Windows Easy Transfer

  I tried several times to use file transfer for my old HP XP on my new HP Vista computer files.  First time I made "all user files" and stopped to transfer to half way and says that my D: drive is complete on the new Vista.  So, I made a start to recovery to factory settings and tried again.

  Second time I tried to transfer, I disabled the D: drive and tried to keep it short, not as many files.  He transferred what I asked for, but these files under a separate user.  And once again, flashing at me my D: drive is very low on space.

  I did another system of recovery, but it did not work.  D: drive is always full.  I do another system of recovery currently see.  I negligence has not set a restore point before you start.  Women for the India tech support was no help at all.

  What I am doing wrong?  Why Easy Transfer work "easily"?  I have so many games, movies, and music on my XP I can't copy on disk since I don't have a burner to work.  I'm not so concerned about the transfer of parameters like many music, although I hate to lose all my favorites in outlook express and web pages.

  Thanks for any help.

  You can burn your data on CD/DVD or a Flash dive allows you to transfer data.

  Buy an easy transfer cable

  You can buy a cable easy transfer of many computer manufacturers or retailers. To make sure that the cable is designed for Windows Easy Transfer, be sure to look for a "Certified for Windows Vista" logo or the "Works with Windows Vista" on the packaging.

  Buy a cable easy transfer now at Windows Marketplace

  Windows Easy Transfer allows you to easily move the files and settings stored on your PC under Windows 2000, Windows XP, or even Windows Vista to a new PC running Windows Vista. Windows Easy Transfer will automatically transfer things like:

  • User accounts

  • Files and folders

  • Contacts, settings, and e-mail messages

  • Photos, music and videos

  • Windows settings

  • Program data files and settings

  • Internet settings

  There are several ways that you can use Windows Easy Transfer; Choose how you prefer to connect your two computers, select the data you want to transfer, then let Windows Easy Transfer do the work for you.

  Easy transfer cable

  A single cable is a special USB cable that is designed to work with Windows Easy Transfer by creating a direct link between your old PC and new PC. One of these cables is the most simple and fast method for the transfer and is recommended if you do not have access to a network. An easy transfer cable will transfer data from the PC running Windows XP or Windows Vista on a PC running Windows Vista.

  • Install the small software application provided with your cable (or download here) on your current PC.

  • Connect the cable to both computers.

  • Windows Easy Transfer will launch and guide you through the transfer process. Your information and files will transfer at approximately 20 GB per hour.

  Use a home network or small business

  If you already have a wired or wireless network, it's a great way to transfer all your data. You can use your network to transfer your data in real-time on your network or by using a shared folder on the network.

  Using an external hard drive

  If you have an external hard drive, Windows Easy Transfer can copy your data on this drive and then copy the data from the drive to your new computer.

  With the help of CD or DVD

  Windows Easy Transfer can use your CD or DVD burner PC to transfer your data. This solution is not ideal, but can work well if you move only a small amount of data that can fit on a single disc. If you have a large amount of data that does not fit on a disc, it is possible to use this transfer method using multiple disks.

  To learn more about the details of the Windows Easy Transfer process, read more at the Windows Vista Help.
