Easy transfer Windows - log file?

Using Windows Easy transfer to move files from my old XP system to a new Win7 system.

The transfer was to take 12 + hours, when he was about one hour left, I went out for several hours - when I came back, my new computer has been restarted (caused by an update of Windows that has been installed).

Now I don't know if the transfer was finished when the reboot happened and if it was, if all the files got flies or not.  I managed to find an application of easy transfer journal - but it just seems to just reporting on applications that have been migrated and not the real user files.

Can someone help me to know if the transfer is completed and if so, how can we know if all files transferred or not?

Thank you for your help.

David

Hello

How many user accounts exist in the Windows XP computer and how attempted to move?

To check if the transfer is completed, you will need to compare manually the files of those who are located in Windows XP and those transferred to Windows 7 computer.

In addition, at the end of Windows Easy Transfer.  I suggest you to refer to the ink below and check for step 4.

    Original title: Easy Transfer password XP to Windows 7.

    I try to use Easy Transfer to move files from my old computer to new computer (XP to Windows 7). I didn't have a password on my old computer, but cannot transfer to the new without one. I tried every password I never used (caps on and outside), as well as the code given at the beginning of the Easy Transfer, but nothing works. What can I do? (I use an external hard drive)

    Hello

    If I'm wrong, please let us know why, but my assumptions that are

    • Your old XP machine is usable
    • It still allows to log
    • There is no password required when you don't sign

    So you can try this...

    1. Click Start
    2. Click on Control Panel
    3. Click on user accounts
    4. Give your XP logon password
    5. Restart your XP machine
    6. Try Easy Transfer and him give the password that you set in step 4

    Hi George P Boutwell,.

    Thank you for using answers Forum.

    I think that VMware has a 64-bit/function version. You will need to contact them to verify this.
    64-bit to 32-bit is not supported by Windows Easy Transfer, as far as I know.

    I hope this helps.

  • Windows Easy Transfer - Trasnsfering of files to/from the same machine with the same operating system - Windows XP

    I have my old Windows XP, Media Center Edition and has been upgraded from the hard drive because my old one was a lot of noise and I feared an imminent failure. I thought that I would use Windows Easy Transfer to copy and restore all my files on the new drive. I transferred all user data on an external USB hard disk, and managed. However, when I go to restore using Windows Easy Transfer, it doesn't gives me not a choice to restore to my new computer. He sees it only as the old computer and I never have the option. Is there a work around for this?

    Hello


    1. what applications did you use to transfer the parameters is - this Windows Easy Transfer or if she files and the transfer settings Wizard?

  • Windows Easy Transfer cannot log on to your domain account

    I'm moving to Win 7 RC 1 to Win 7 Pro.  Last night, I used WET to move my files, etc to an external USB hard drive.  To date, I did a clean install of Windows 7 Pro and I tried to transfer it to my computer, but refuses to Win 7 Pro with the error code: 'Windows Easy Transfer can't connect to your domain account'?  What is happening with this?  I've never belonged to a field when using RC 1.  How can I get around that?  If I can't get my stuff, I'm screwed.

    Looks I groused too early and celebrated too soon.  When I finally got the command line tool to work, it has been indeed zipping through archive WET.  I could not see at first was that it generated an error in creating file under each extraction, the formidable «double C:\»  " in the path of restoration that has been much discussed elsewhere on this forum.  In desperation, I went back to the wizard to see if could make it work.  I finally made using the wizard to create two new user accounts to receive the archived files!  To say the least, the final solution was contrary to intuition.  On my system from RC1, I haven't had a single account user.  During the clean install of the RTM, I used the same handle and password as before under RC1.  It seemed logical to me that it would be WET looking for; silly me!  In any case, it worked and I'm going through the long chore to install my programs.  I guess "All's well that ends well", but I don't know why it worked.  From a security point of view, it seems that it shouldn't have.  Oh, well...  I guess that MS did not get enough to test our skills of problem solving :-(  I hope my experience and solution is useful to someone.

  • Easy transfer Windows spilled all my folders and files in the C: OS drive.

    I don't know if I've done something right or if it is a real problem. I used my wired network and Windows Easy Transfer to transfer files and folders of old readers logics partioned 5 XP to my new family Win 7 Premium 64 bit, also with a hard drive partitioned. Transfer all the folders and files placed in the new Win 7 C: OS drive. What a nightmare! I had to return the computer to factory settings (out of the box) and all over again.

    I should have been smarter. After all, how a stupid machine knowledge where to put each logical drives and folders without receiving instructions. But then it should have been a warning that the machine is not do miracles.

    Caution: do not use Windows Easy Transfer if you have a partitioned hard drive.

  • Easy transfer Windows between Vista Home premium 64-bit and windows 7 32 bit

    I have an Acer X 3200 office that works on Vista 64-bit. I just got an Acer One netbook that runs on Windows 7 and is a 32-bit. I tried to use the Windows easy transfer application to transfer my files on to the netbook.
    Two computers, when they are linked, forms a connection and the netbook comes with the message that the files can be transferred on a 64-bit to a 32-bit computer.
    There are downloads that can solve this problem? I looked on the microsoft site and found none.

  • Easy transfer Windows of Windows 7 to windows vista does not

    Easy file transfer question

    I had to go back to Vista to W7 64-bit.  (long story) Before that, I created a file transfer with W7.  I can't make the transfer of files to Vista.  I was told it would work, but I have problems.  Any guidance would be extremely useful.  Thanks, Jagsrus

    Hello jagsrus,

    To add to what said Dena, you must restore the files and settings to a 64-bit computer. Because easy transfer creates all of the backup in a file single .mig, it would not allow you to browse the file and restore the backup files.

    Once you create a backup, you can restore the files on a 64-bit computer, you can go on using the backup and restore windows to create another backup that you can restore your 32-bit of Windows Vista. Read this article:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-your-files

    If you have another 64-bit computer, you must restore the data and backup important files. This will help you restore them on your 32-bit computer.

  • Can I remove the file 'SaveData.mig' after I run Windows Easy Transfer?

    Can I remove the file 'SaveData.mig' after I run Windows Easy Transfer?

    I used easy transfer to move files from an old computer to my new about 12 months ago. The SaveData.mig file takes 22 GB of space on the new computer. I would like to remove it but I don't know if it will mess up all my files that have been transferred to my new computer. Anyone know if I can delete this file in order to free up space? Thank you

    I agree with Mohdrafi - you can remove safely; However, you should have a more recent backup of your current files just to be on the right side (image FULL weekly backup and an incremental backup every day for an external HARD drive - I've seen too many people get burned when their drive hard breaks down or something worse and then they lose all their precious documents (, photos, audio and other files).  There ARE recovery procedures, but they don't always work, and they don't always get everything (especially if you expect to solve the problem or continue to use the PC in the meantime)- and depending on your version of Vista.  Delete this file will NOT affect the files and settings that you restored using the process.  Could have deleted it hours after that the process has been done (once you have a good backup) and it would have been very well then.  If you have a good backup, I can see no reason whatsoever to keep the file.

    If the normal delete function in Vista doesn't work, try using one of the following free products to remove the file.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

    Congratulations to the use of Easy Transfer - this is a pretty cool tool isn't it?  Not sure how many threads that we have here people with issues or recoving given him--I saw a lot.  It seems easy on the surface, but when it doesn't work it can become quite complex and aggravating (and I know people who have unfortunately never were able to retrieve their data and settings no matter what we tried).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Windows Easy Transfer does not

    I got a new computer WIndows 8. I want to transfer my data from my Windows 7 computer. Easy transfer works on windows 7 but not 8. When I pull up on the 8 I have the question Yes or no. Yes constituting the data is already on a drive hard and being that I have not used before. If I click No., it closes. It brings me to another menu as it does on windows 7. I want to transfer data via wifi.

    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.
    Step 2: Open Windows Easy Transfer on the new computer in Windows 8.1

    All the following steps on the new computer from Windows 8 to open Windows Easy Transfer. You must be logged in using an administrator account.
    NOTE: before performing the following steps, unplug both computers to the Internet and temporarily disable any firewall software that may be running.
