• 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.

• Files and Settings Transfer Wizard has been used to record all my info. I installed a new drive and a fresh install of XP Pro. When I reverse the process and navigate to the folder, it will not recognize the path to the folder or information. What should

  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.

• Big problem with the files and Settings Transfer Wizard.

  Basically, what has happened here, it is that I did a backup of the files on the computer of a friend with the wizard to transfer to an external hard drive, but I started on the old computer and for one reason or another never get the CD Wizard so I thought that I was OK.  Don't think.  The idea was to have the backup files in case I needed to reformat the drive hard, I ended up reformatting the drive and when I finally got the installation more done with trying to run the file and Settings Wizard and when I chose the external drive that files were on and then subsequently the folder and it said that it did not contain information.  So basically I'm stuck with a complete record of .dat files, and the wizard will not let me extract the files off the drive.  Is there anyway that I can return information about the files, or I'm totally finished.

  Everything worked ok that it proved just that he did not want to me to choose the actual file as a path, but the hard drive.  It was just something simple that I pop up.  Thanks for the help but I don't know that it would have been the next problem if I didn't had not updated the operating system first.

• I used the file and Settings Transfer Wizard...

  .. before reinstalling the OS to the factory settings on my Dell XPS 420.

  When I tried to reinstall parameters, etc., everything was recovered, but my Outlook *.pst and so all my emails, settings account and contacts.

  I tried to re - import this data, but it is still missing.  Curiously, it is the case with other accounts for *.pst files, too.

  I was under the impression of the data should be relocated by default, if someone could tell me where these data could be and if I can recover from in the backup file?

  Thank you very much

• recover files from USM2T. UNC (old XP files and settings transfer tool) folder in windows 7

  Breath my old XP and put in place a new W7 Pro 64 b. stupid did me not carefully the manual before I went away to transfer all files and settings XP, the wizard files and Settings Transfer (FAST) "old."

  Now I'm stuck which dominates the stream _ with my nice, clean, but oh so empty, installation of Windows 7 Prof 64 b.

  Problem is that the wizard of Windows Easy Transfer (WET) native in W7, it will come out looking for a *.mig file - and guess what! There is no file in the USM2T source folder. UNC. Just a bunch of GOOD *. DAT files.

  Can someone give me a name on a good therapist or better yet, to guide me?

  Whatelse... ?  I found a GUI which is a wrapper for the MS-DOS command "fastconv" - but it's a bit unstable and it takes time awful lotta.

  Thanks in advance,

• Files and settings transfer

  I have the C: drive of my old PC which is now the D: drive in my new PC.  The old drive (now D :) is readable but not bootable.

  Both drives have Vista.

  I want to transfer my files and settings from the D: drive to my new drive C: while all applications, drivers, settings, etc. from the old pc is put at my disposal on the new pc.

  How to achieve this?  WET only seems to work if the two discs are in separate computers; It is not possible.

  Hello

  You say that the former slave drive is readable.

  Copy the files on the master hard drive.

  And you can't transfer programs; they must be reinstalled.

  See you soon.

• Files and settings transfer from XP to Windows 7

  I backed up my XP pc files by using the USMT.  I just installed windows 7 pro on that same pc and I do not see an available USMT to restore the settings.  I did not use the transfer function.  Is it possible to restore my files and settings that are from my XP pc currently stored on an external drive to my Windows 7 environment?  the function of easy transfer on Windows 7 does not recognize the file created by the USMT.

  See the following topics:

  User State Migration Tool 4.0 user's Guide

  USMT is really intended for migration from the company. For stand-alone users, you must use Windows Easy Transfer during the migration to Windows XP:

• Files and Settings Transfer duplicate directories/folders

  After upgrading to a hard drive more, tried to install XP from old hd install disc; used easy transfer and also some other recov ery program and ended up with duplicate files and directories source of confusion.  for example several folders My Documents; the old HD and newly created the new hd.  How can I fix the problems?  I have several duplicate files, it's a mess.  Thank you, pdoyle1.

  Hi pdoyle1,

  1. you can try to use disk cleanup and verify the results. Link: Description of the tool in Windows XP Disk Cleanup:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310312

  2. If you have the original data recorded (old hard drive), then I suggest you to format the new hard drive and copy the original to new hard drive data.

  You can also use some third party software that are available to remove duplicate files. You can use your favorite search engine to find the software to delete duplicate files.

  Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  I followed the instructions in the files and Settings Transfer Wizard. Old computer xp home 20 years, new 9 year old xp pro. serial cable installed but computers try to connect to each other (com1 or autodetect) but can't, they just keep trying indefinitely.

  The old computer has an Ethernet (network) card?  If so, get a crossover cable and forget the "serial null-modem cable.

• Restore files and settings from my old Windows XP system to the newly installed Windows XP SP2.

  My old Windows XP no longer works correctly - it would start to Windows, but that restart. Otherwise, all data and system files on the hard disk are completely legible [no error reported by various scans].

  I made a copy of that old hard drive [with the problematic Windows XP] on a partition of my drive hard [second] another [using EASEUS Partition Master to copy the whole thing - it created an image of all the old hard disk on a special partition of the second hard disk].

  That I took a third hard drive and installed a new Windows XP [SP2] on it. How can I transfer my files and settings from this partition of the second hard disk [which is the image of the original hard drive] third hard disk [which I now use as the bootable hard disk instead of the original one]?

  Can I use "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard" for whom? If so, how?

  AVI,
  I think it's a little late for the transfer Assistant.  You should use it while the other drive has been started.  But you can try the wizard.
  Run it and tell him that you are on the new PC.
  So say no to create a wizard disk.
  Then on the location of the files screen, select other and see if it will let you access the info on your another drive.
  In my view, it will look for the file in the wizard, but it is worth it.

  If this does not work then you need to just reinstall your programs and manually copy the data to your new drive. Typing of my new Windows 7 64 bit and love it! Soli Deo Gloria!

• Easy Transfer Wizard error: there is not enough available disk space to transfer your files and settings. The download file size is 40 GB and I have a C: drive that says he has 280 GB free and a D: drive has 298 GB free.

  I made a successful backup of the Easy Transfer of files on an external hard drive.  Previously, this computer was in Vista for more than 1 year without any problem.

  After you perform a custom installation (I wanted to start with a clean install) of Win7, everything works.  I installed the Windows/Office updates and all my other program files.  When I run the transfer Assistant, it locates the 'old computer' transfer file and reads OK, showing users and the size of the 40.1 GB file transfer.  When I click the button forward, I get error: there is not enough available disk space to transfer your files and settings.  However, I have more than 280 GB free on my C: drive.

  This disc is watching him and what should I do to work around this problem.  If I can't get my files/settings back, I'll be VERY unhappy customer.

  I've just passed through even - WET previous Dell PC running Windows 7 Ultimate to HP with Windows 7 Home Premium. The Belkin Easy Transfer cable help.
  WET said not enough space even if the hard drive is twice the size.
  I clicked on "Advanced" and noticed that WET strives also transfer Dell factory image from the recovery partition and the HP recovery partition was smaller.
  I unticked (unchecked) files recovery partitio on old computer and everything is going very well from hand to hand.
  Hope that helps!

• Files and settings are not transferred when I use the files and the Settings Transfer Wizard

  Two XP computers are same all critical Service Pack 3 with the update.  Same version of FAST.

  Running FAST on the old computer (files and settings) creates the USMT2. The UNC file.

  Run FAST on the NEW computer concludes the USMT2. UNC file and works through its steps.

  Both measures take about two hours to complete.

  When FASTING is complete on the new computer he wants to disconnect the user.  At this point, it seems that it worked without errors.  (no error messages at all)

  After the Cup then turn it back, it's as FAST does not work.

  FASTWiz.log is 175KO on OLD PC and 72KO on NEW

  Don't know what to look for or what could be the problem.

  Both computers have MigWiz.exe version 5.1.2600.5512

  I'm glad you worked on it.  Thanks for letting me know.
