Had to install a legal copy of XP Pro., so I also installed a better hard drive. I got all the information on the use of the files and Settings Transfer Wizard. The directions were quite easy and I transferred the information on my other hard drive without any problem. Once everything was installed, I tried to recover the said info. I failed.

  • File & Settings Transfer Wizard?

    I was just checking the "and settings files Transfer Wizard" has been added as a feature of Windows XP. I chose the same computer as the computer old & new & all that this wizard transfers, has been moved back to the same computer. When asked of the location where the backup files have been, I selected "Documents & settings". After you run the Wizard twice - once to move the files 'FROM' & once to move the files "in THE", while they inspected my PC, I find that everything seems to be exactly where it was before my using this wizard.

    1. However, I want to make sure that no damage has been done. How can I?

    2. This wizard will leave all files "Leftovers" once it has done its job? If so, can I want to delete these they would be needlessly takes up space on my PC how can I check where are these files Left Over & get rid of them?

    Well for starters the FTW, you must select the pc as 'old' or 'new '. Old, sets the wizard

    to collect the new, data sets, the wizard of abstract data & place data in the OS... Collect data

    set as old, chk the boxes that you want it to collect, put data into a new folder that you created, once its

    put Thru, folder on a cd, or a hd storage... In addition, the wizard never seems to runs fine except

    cd to install xp to a given time...

  • How can I find what version of iTunes has been used with my iPod.

    My computer with the installed iTunes died. I tried to load iTunes in my new computer, and then use it with my iPod and I get the error message that another version of iTunes has been used to record music on my iPod.  The new iTunes wants to erase everything on my iPod and start over.   Is the only place in all the songs I have on my iPod so I don't want to erase it and start over. I need to know what version of iTunes has been used with my iPod, the last time that I've updated so that I can download the version of iTunes and my iPod allows to recover all my songs in iTunes.   In turn if there is a way that I can download all my iPod songs in a folder on the computer and then reload them in iTunes.

    That is to say that a different library was used. The version is not really relevant. If your old computer and new were both running the same version you'd still see the same message unless you have migrated your library or restored a backup. See recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device.

  • Historical files Windows 8 will not recognize the new external hard drive

    I just bought a new laptop (Sony Vaio) with Windows 8Pro (System op 64-bit, Intel I7, 1THD).  One of the reasons is that I have approached Win8, is I liked the concept of the new 'File History' backup utility  I started to use the computer with an ext WD My Guide of the HD and the history of the files seemed to work.  Then the drive external hard went wrong and I just bought a new WD My Passport 2 t ext HD.  Historical files will not recognize this drive.  He keeps asking the old drive.  When I attached the new drive and go to the screen "Select drive", it says "no usable drives are detected.  Please connect a drive... "I know that the drive is there because I see under 'My computer' and I can copy files to it.  But the history of the files do not recognize.  WD, I called and they helped me to update drivers and even made a update firmware on the drive, but nothing is done.  I tried several fixes suggested in a few links Microsoft 'how file history works... '. «, «What to do if the file history works more...» ", etc, but all without success. The tech also remote BestBuy Geek squad my computer and tried EVERYTHING and could not get it to succeed.  BTW, it's not the HD post because put us on another computer to WIN 8 and Hx file found immediately.  Tech people thought that it was a deep registry with Win 8 problem and their only suggestion was to reimage my computer with the original recovery disk.  But who is going to cost me an arm and a leg.

    I'm not very tech savvy, so I know there must be something very simple, I'm do wrong or overlooking and I hope that some dear soul on this forum or someone from Microsoft can give me an idea or two.  Thank you very much

    I was having this same problem, but then noticed a presentation text easy to miss in the historical files tool that says that the disc "cannot be a part of a library" or something like that. In my case, I had files on my external hard drive that have been included in several libraries... and none that I really used, so I removed the files (and deleted the libraries for good measure). A fast system restart later, and my player does not appear.

    I don't know why MS did not propose it again for this thread as the more obvious thing to check, but there you have it. Something simple and quick to check that could save you some frustration.

  • Files and Settings Transfer Wizard-problem

    I recently had to format my hard drive and start over. I used the "files and Settings Transfer Wizard" to collect, compress and save all my pictures, etc... She is transferred to 11.1 GB and ended successfully. But now that I formatted I can't transfer files to the newly formatted hard drive.

  • Files and Settings Transfer Wizard

    Move to a new computer. How do I use the files and Settings Transfer Wizard when a drive D:\, where most of the records, should be moved from the old computer? Would it not be better to move the drive before or after using the wizard?

    Old computer: WXP Pro SP3

    New computer: W7 Pro

    Also, the Office 2003 pro is compatible with W7Pro?

    Thanks Steve responding. Yes, I was looking to move the disk to the new machine, but this effort is now moot. It turns out that the car was not compatible with the environment of W7. Had to reinstall everything manually. Bought a new external 3 to Seagate protable drive and moved everything to him. Great work and no more worries about space.

    Also upgraded to Office 2010 to avoid more problems with this. Just having problems learning curve that I can rely.

    Thanks again.

  • Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive

    Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive, although it worked well for more than two years.  Now I can't access it to install new software.

    It will not be displayed in the Device Manager, bad shooters to say it is not connected or is, tried Fixit fix (could not as "not applicable to your computer update"), uninstall iTunes (in the case of a conflict - even if it worked with the DVD of > 1 year), etc., but still cannot access the DVD.

    It's obviously a known issue, given that a support page - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976187 that recommends the fix or manually disable ALPM active power management.  If it of a known issue, why is not included in the updates and that I have to disable ALPM power if management it worked ok before?

    What now? Is turn off the power, my only option?  What happens if it is not yet recognized after that?

    After the foregoing:

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
    correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

  • Fuze 4 GB will not recognize the change of information tracking

    Right then, I had some problems with my Fuze MP3 player. When I download the new music on the device, the ID3 tags all come out the way they are supposed to. However, if I remove the music that is on the drive and replace it with the same tracks with ID3s update, it will not recognize the change of title, album, or artist, if the song file will be updated. I know because I had problems with the songs with the same name or accidentally given songs the name of another song, which resulted in incorrectly labeled music.

    I tried to format the drive, I tried to remove the music manually in the file system, I tried to change the USB mode and delete the file that I said holds the ID3 data, and I tried all the possible permutations of disconnection and let the Player recognizes the changes. This includes the removal of all the music in the player, disconnection of the latter, confirming that there is no music on the system, to change the USB mode, deleting the file with the ID3 information, turning the rear USB mode, reconnect, put my music on the device, and the problems have not been resolved.

    It is likely, it is just to be fickety, and there is something I'm don't is not right, but it's the second "rocket" I've owned - I love the model and went up to return a Fuze + in favour of the former model - and one has never had this problem. I'm willing to try anything within reason to solve the problem, so I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

    In fact, the problem was not as expected at all. I think it turns the problem is Windows Media Player, which I only use to sync my music on my MP3 player, had a library with outdated information. So after the Player update multimedia, I refreshed my library recordings and everything worked as you wish. I just to make sure that if I make changes to existing songs in my library.

    Thanks for all the help, guys, guess it was on my end.
