• Windows easy transfer problem

  I used Windows Easy Transfer with the two computers under Windows Vista. I couldn't transfer files directly over the network because something with computer sizes are not compatible. Fact on the old computer (a laptop), I'm sure I downloaded the files on the network, but now I can't find where I saved from my new computer (a PC). I opened Windows Easy Transfer to know where I saved the documents, and he says "C;\from_old_computer\SaveData.MIG" which is actaull under a car calles OS (C). How can I get my files from my laptop on PC? and can I use the sharing of network as a vehicle? I have also already connected computers via the network, it works simply with the transfer.

  Hello

  I think that we do not follow the correct procedure to migrate the files and settings of the network drive where the backup is stored. Follow the steps mentioned below.

  Use a network drive for migrating files and settings

  1. look for the removable media or the network drive that contains the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard files, and then double-click Migwiz.exe to start Windows Easy Transfer.

  2. If you use other programs, you will need to close these programs. You can save your work in each program, and then close the programs individually. You can also click Close all in Windows Easy Transfer to close these programs immediately.

  3. click on next.

  4. click through a network.

  5. click on connect directly via network to begin the migration.

  Note: Click on save to network location if you want to store the files and settings in a file that will be loaded later. If you want to store the files and settings on a network drive, you will be asked to provide the path where you want to store the files and settings.

  6. click on everything - all accounts users, files, and program settings (recommended) to migrate all files and settings. If you want to determine exactly the files and settings you want to migrate, click only my user account, files, and program settings, or click Customize.

  7 examine the list that contains the files and settings you want to migrate, and then click Start. To add or remove files or settings from the list, click Customize.

  8. click close once Windows Easy Transfer has completed migrating files and settings to the destination computer.

• Windows XP Windows 7 easy transfer problem.

  Hello.  I just upgraded from Windows XP for Wondows 7 but can't get the transfer easy to work.  The files are on a USB connected hard drive.  When I tried to transfer, I had several blue screen errors.  I've now updated the display driver (all others are updated) and now get "Windows easy transfer application has stopped.  The search for a solution"the computer freezes then and without the slightest trace of solution is displayed.  Help please Gordon

• 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!

The files and what-not are save to the external hard drive as one. MIG file. I plugged the external hard drive to my computer then "computer" then "E: (external hard drive). I clicked on the.

I click on 'Continue' and then a Windows easy transfer opens and asks me a password. I type the windows admin password and it tells me it's the wrong password. What is the password that is supposed to be if not the password admin I looked around and it doesn't seem like there's a kind of generic password (for example, 1234). What should I do?

  I hope that someone a this forum can help out me.

  Thank you

• Easy transfer password problem.

  I try to use Easy Transfer to transfer to an old PC (XP) to another (Vista Home Premium 64-bit).  During the creation of the CD on the old computer I did use a password.  Now that I'm trying to load the CD on the new computer, I get a message that says "the passwords do not match."  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  During the easy transfer it does not prompt you a password. So could you please brief me in what concerns when it's to ask a password?

  Try to connect as an administrator and then try to transfer easily.
  Try the windows vista password and see if it helps.

The machine has been used for about a month and the decision was made to use the operating system major University. After you use windows easy transfer to save the contents of this machine on an external hard drive, I changed my OS to windows 7 Enterprise, which takes care of the University.

  Dan

  Thank you, I posted this question in the Microsoft Technet forum. To save time for others with this same problem, I was told "Microsoft Easy transfer is not backward compatible from windows 8 for windows 7. The solution is to transfer files manually before you change the operating systems and in my case for transfer to a window machine 8 and then manually transfer the files on the windows machine 7.

• 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.

  Here's info from MS on how to use it:

  Windows Easy Transfer

  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.
