Easy transfer does not recongize. MIG file

I replaced the drive in my Dell d830.  I gathered my files on the external hard drive.  When I run easy transfer on "new computer", it does not recognize the file in the box go.  I can see it on the disk, but it does not load.  Help?

No, easy transfer does not have XP to XP.

Is the old hard drive available and functional?

Have you ever used Windows Easy Transfer to copy the files to your external drive?

If you used easy transfer AND your original drive is no longer available (or dead), you may be able to recover the data, but there is no guarantee.

Microsoft technical support may be able to help--for a fee.  Alternatively, you can Google MigRecover Utility.  However, I understand that there are different versions of the file creates MIG Windows Easy Transfer, but this requires different versions of the tool (I think USMT4 is for the version of Windows 7 to WET and USMT3 for the version of Vista, but I don't know for you).

Sorry, I have more new and good luck.

PS Si the old drive is not actually dead, your best bet is probably to buy a USB or FireWire external drive box and copy the data directly.

    Transfer files and settings with Windows Easy Transfer in Windows 8

    Windows easy transfer supports several methods to transfer your files and settings.
    You can use Windows easy transfer to transfer information to a computer running Windows 8 computers with one of the following operating systems:
    • Windows 8
    • Windows 7
    • Windows Vista
    • Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Service Pack 3 (SP3)
    NOTE: Windows Easy Transfer cannot transfer files between a 64-bit version of Windows and a 32-bit version of Windows. Instead, the files must be transferred manually using external storage devices. To find the version of Windows on your computer, see the is the Version on my computer 32-bit or 64-bit Windows
    ? support document.
    Step 1: Determine the best method of transfer

    When you transfer files between Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 computers, choose a method that works on both computers. Windows easy transfer supports the following transfer methods:
    • External hard drive or USB flash drive: to use a USB flash drive, you need a USB port on each computer. If you use an external hard drive, it must be compatible with both computers.
    • Easy transfer cable: you need a special USB cable designed to work with Windows 8 and Windows Easy Transfer and a USB port on each computer. If you don't have an easy transfer cable, you can order one online or get one at an electronics store. The easy transfer cable is supported on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers.
      NOTE standard USB cable: A cannot be used to transfer files and settings between computers.

    • Network: both computers must be connected to the same cable or wireless network and both computers must be able to share files and folders.

    To decide which method to use, consider the amount of information you will sit. If you are transferring everything from all users on the computer, or all of your user account files, an easy transfer cable, external hard drive or a network works well. If you transfer only a few files or folders, a USB works well.

    • New Mac, same disk external DRIVE for the library; does not see the files

      I reconnected my iTunes library from a disk external DRIVE to my new computer, but iTunes does not recognize my files of the ALAC instead, he goes to the cloud and plays music from Apple things. How can I listen to my files? All the files are there, the library is intact; I changed the path in iTunes. Without result. He always plays with the cloud.

      You do not change the path in iTunes.  Who does as it says which is tell iTunes where media files [new] store. You change the path you launch iTunes by holding down the option/alt key, while the application starts and then choose when prompted the iTunes Library.itl file in the iTunes folder you included if all goes well on the hard disk external.  If everything you have on the outside are media files, then you better head for your old computer fast and get the rest of the library there.  It's the rest of these files in the iTunes folder that make up the other half of the 'library' iTunes needs.

    • Windows XP does not have exe files

      My computer has been infected by a virus that exceeded AVG 9.
      I removed the virus using Malwarebytes but after deleting Windows does not recognize exe files more.
      I tried to restore to a point before the infection, but I had recently cleaned up but a restore point and virus was present after the restoration.
      I also checked the registry and checked all the entries associated with the exe files and found no errors... Suggestions that don't involve wiping the entire hard drive?  I really want to do it AGAIN... It would be the second time in a year.

      This is a popular remedy for this condition:
