How to transfer files to vista for xp

I have a new laptop which has XP as OS and I want to transfer files from my Vista Home computer, how can I do this.  The new book has no disk drive.

I also have a laptop another XP I want to transfer files to the new XP laptop, how can I do this?

Depending on the amount of data, use a USB key or the two computers on network.  Or the other method will work for Vista--> XP and XP--> XP.

If you don't have a router, you can use a crossover cable to connect the two computers.

What follows is old, but still good, networking MVP Malke installation tips:
File/printer sharing Excellent, comprehensive, yet easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx for XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below). Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not. A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, you're fine. With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY. (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done in Control Panel System applet, the computer name tab create c. corresponding to the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista: set up Windows to automatically log (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm D. If one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab). E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing. F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

    "Fix a corrupted user profile.

    Try this method.

    To copy files to the new user profile

    After creating the profile, you can copy the files from the existing profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

    1. Log on as a user other than the new user that you created or the user that you want to copy the files.

    2. Open Documents by clicking on the button start , and then clicking Documents.

    3. Click on the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.

      If you don't see the Tools menu, press ALT.

    4. Click the view tab, click Show files and folders, protected the clear theHide operating system files check box, and then click OK.

    5. Find the C:\Users\Old_Username folder, where C is the drive that Windows is installed, and where ancien_nom_utilisateur represents the name of the profile you want to copy the files to.

    6. Select all the files and folders in this folder, except the following files:

      • Ntuser.dat

      • Ntuser.dat.log

      • Ntuser.ini

    7. Click the Edit menu and then click on copy.

      If you don't see the Edit menu, press ALT.

    8. Look for the C:\Users\New_Username folder, where C represents the drive Windows is installed, and New_Username is the name of the new user profile you created.

    9. Click the Edit menu and then click on paste.

      If you don't see the Edit menu, press ALT.

    10. Sign out and then sign back in as a new user.

      If you have messages in e-mail, such as Windows Mail, you must import your e-mail messages and addresses to the new user profile before you delete the old profile. If everything is working properly, you can delete the old profile.

    If the steps above don't fix the problem, you should contact your provider of customer support for assistance.

    ITunes music works only with the iPod.
    ITunes Store is a store based on online digital media software operated by added Apple Inc. DRM protection on them. You can't make music iTunes to HTC Hero directly unless you first remove the DRM protection.

  • How to transfer files from PC to PC via a serial port using labview

    I need to transfer files (.txt, .doc, .xls) from PC to PC via a serial port using LabVIEW. Is it possible to transfer files, if so how to transfer?

    Yes, it is possible to transfer files with the serial port using LabVIEW.  The files are just collections of bytes and the serial port is good enough in the expedition of the bytes from one PC to another.  You must connect the ports series with a null modem cable.

    First, take a look at the example of serial communication.   In LabVIEW, go to the Help menu and select «Find examples...» ».  From there, you can search for "serial" or navigate to hardware input and output > series.  Select «Write series base» and Read.vi  Try this example to gain confidence on the serial communication methods.

    Then it's time to learn how to read and write files.  For this, the examples might be somewhat confusing as they deal with files that are presumed to have data of a specific type in them.  I would recommend just familiarize yourself with the functions in the file e/s palette.  Specifically, familiarize yourself with the following functions.

    1. Open/create/replace file - on the side of your destination, you will need to create the copy of the file you are trying to transfer
    2. Close the file - when you're done reading or writing to a file, you must close it.  It cleans the memory used and finalizes write operations that are still floating in the write buffer.
    3. Read a binary file - is the best way to play a file when you don't really like what type of file it.  In your case, you just want to get these read bytes and sent so they can be written down instead of destination.
    4. Write to a binary file - next to the destination, is what will store the bytes in the file that you created with the number 1.
    5. Size of the file get (under the range of the advanced features of file) - you need to know how big the file is, so you know when you are finished.

    OK, so once you are able to create files byte write and read bytes from existing files, you can move forward.

    I suggest the basic method is to have the user specify a source file on the source PC, and a folder on the destination computer.  Then find the size of the source file using the number 5.  Divide this number of size by the number of bytes that you want to transfer to the times.  The series pads are usually around 32 k (if I remember correctly) in order not to exceed that.  Now start to send data by reading a number of bytes and this string output wiring to the feature of writing VISAS.  On the side of destination, you will want to monitor the serial port for bytes and read when they arrive.  This string of yarn to the writing of the function of binary file to add them to your destination file.

    This is the basic outline of how to do it.  He needs to not to overload him write and read buffers on the serial ports.  Initially, you can use delays on the side sending to make sure that the side reading has enough time to digest.  To make things faster, you can bring in a control of flow.

    If all that sounds a little intimidating, there are there Alliance member companies (such as the automation of PrimeTest) who can write this code for you and even provides a turnkey for you solution.

    Happy wiring,

  • transfer file from vista to XP

    I want to transfer a laptop using Windows Vista on a desktop computer running windows XP Professional. Is there a problem with that?

    No, there should be no problem.  It should work in pretty much the same as if you were transferring Vista to Vista or XP to XP.  The only difference is that folder names and locations can be different depending on what files you want to transfer (I assume you mean your documents, photos, videos, music, downloads and such)-the folder names are a bit different and the user profile is also a little different (so you have to move them to different places to get the same effect of transfer) , but at the end of the day, it's just a simple transfer and there are no problems because they are different versions.  There could be a problem if one is FAT32 and the other is NTFS, but this isn't what you asked (so post back if this is the case and we will explain the issues that are minor and can be solved by converting the entire system FAT32 to NTFS before transfer - must be NTFS anyway).

    For example, to transfer Documents in Vista, you copy the files/folders and transfer to the folder My Documents in XP.

    In short, you should have no problem.

    I hope this helps.
