Easy transfer from Windows xp to windows 7 has not transferred my files on my computer
I re-installed Windows XP and would like to re - install my files located on an external drive. I read a post from a few years with a similar problem and the answering machine says ' see if XP will read the file ' what command or process is necessary to achieve this?
Yet once, how this is related to the Windows Update feature?
After you "gave up trying to upgrade to windows 7", did you do a clean install of Windows XP or...?

can I use easy transfer from Windows 7 to Windows Vista?
I'm moving my wife's laptop running Windows 7 to a desktop running Vista, I can't transfer easily to work just so I think that it might be impossible. Someone can tell me if it is possible to do or not?
You cannot use WET to transfer files from a computer that is running a 64-bit version of Windows to a running a 32-bit version, so make sure that both computers are running the same architecture. I think you have to use version Vista of WET on both computers because Vista is the target computer. Maybe that's a problem. Microsoft has made many changes to WET for Windows 7. All active links that I could find were to download the compatible version Windows 7 on XP and Vista and to transfers of these systems with a target of Windows 7.

Questions about the use of Easy Transfer from XP to Win7
I looked at some of the information on the use of passing Easy Transfer from XP to Win7, and confusing; so, I am confused and hope that someone out there knows the answers. (1) I downloaded the program and he ran; It seems to be different from what is in Wn7 and a tutorial: are they? It simply shows the user files and shared are saved but does not show me what files. And it doesn't seem to be any way to look at in the. MIG file to see what is there. (2) after a new install of WIn7, ITI said to run Easy Transfer to restore files, but I don't see anything on how to do? (3) in addition, each report I've read, but one said first do the restore and then install the necessary programs. This seems to be doomed to failure; a program can create a nrew shirts, overwriting the data was placed in the same, old files.

On the Microsoft Web site at: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows7/products/features/windows-search
It says on the page, , "a few people store all their files in a place these days. If Windows 7 is also designed to search for external hard drives, networked PC, and libraries. Overwhelmed by your search result? You can instantly narrow them by date, type of file and other useful categories. »
Why, then, can't I search for files on my internal additional physical hard drive D: I know are there, and yet I can see and open them in Windows Explorer?
I would debate that from what I see, by default, Windows 7 is not be indexed files on anything other than his main boot partition.
Is it possible to change Windows 7 to enable indexing of other readers, or force a periodic re-indexing?
If anyone has an answer, it would be much appreciated.
