Slow Windows easy transfer

I am preparing my Compaq desktop PC for Windows XP Media 2005 conversion to Windows 7 and am following the steps on the Windows website.  I downloaded and successfully installed Windows Easy Transfer and I use an external hard drive with 610 GB of free space to store the backup data.  WET said I have about 370 GB for transfer and seems to be * very * slow.  The estimated process time ramps upward to 11 days and continues to grow rapidly.  Is this a known issue?  I'm doing something wrong?  Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated.

It is a large data set, so I'm not surprised its taking so long, here is a link to a preview of the performance upgrade of Windows 7:

    You can even check if you face the same question in the user account different or new user account.  You can create a new user account on your computer, and then check.

  • Why Windows Easy Transfer stuck in about 1/8 of the full path?

    I tried to transfer all my family files, settings, etc., from a full Windows Vista Edition machine, our new Windows 7 Home Premium machine.  I do this on our network.  Achievements to the party "Transfer files and settings to this computer" and it really is stuck.  The progress bar to abou 1/8 of the way, for more than 8 hours.  No progress took place.  I'm tempted to just stop all this and try and to do this by hand.  Honestly, if Microsoft has a phone holder to use Windows Easy Transfer, I would really appreciate knowing the phone number, so I can try to get this thing done!

  • Windows Easy Transfer ends with the restart Message

    I'm trying to use Windows easy transfer to transfer files from my old laptop Windows XP 32 - bit for my new laptop Wn7 64-bit. I downloaded the XP application usng the laptop Win7 and transferred on the XP laptop and installed there. I used my network wireless existing as a transfer medium. I copied the transfer key from the old to the new laptop, and the transfer seemed to progress saying there were 390 files, which seems a little low. When 390 have been transferred, both computers will report the following error:

    Windows Easy Transfer is unable to continue. If please restart the computer and try again.

    I restarted once the two laptops and WET the results in the same error.

    Should I just try a different transfer method?

    Yes.

    Windows Easy Transfer and files and Settings Transfer seized were never so great because they are really made to move (IMHO) from one system to the other * at time of the original operating system release * because they start pretty quickly leaving aside the settings and applications.  Since you are going from Windows XP to Windows 7, use this:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/XP/transfer-your-data.aspx

    If you want to transfer both applications - you can spend a little money on the product (23.95 USDs as you move from XP) and get the professional version:

  • I get the error message "there was an error of analysis of the data on your system" when you try to use Windows Easy Transfer

    Original title: there was an error of analysis of the data on your system

    I get this error when trying to use Windows Easy Transfer to prepare to move from an XP PC to a Windows 7 PC. It passes through the part of the selection on where I later import files then says he is scanning the disc and fails with the above error.

    In the search for this error, I found information of 2007 could be be a nero problem AVI.  I don't have Nero installed and I can't find the log files in the directory MIGWIZ.

    It is a small (50 GB) HD who do not have much space available on it (I'm not in front of it now).  Is there a minimum amount of free space needed to run this executable? That is why it is a failure?

    Could there be other issues behind this failure?
    Thanks in advance

    No. the program has been used probable million times.
     
    You need to download and save the "W.E.T." installation program on your Windows XP computer (or on another machine and transfer them to the Windows XP computer.)  You can click here to start the download:

    http://download.Microsoft.com/download/8/c/5/8c534bd6-0d4a-463F-888f-a0d87de52661/tfrcable_x86.exe

    I just downloaded and saved on my computer to make sure that the link works.  If you are having problems on the same machine or on a certain Internet connection - try a different computer/Internet connection.

  • Windows 'Easy Transfer' to new hard drive?

    I have a desktop computer Inspiron 530 with XP Pro and you need to install a new hard drive.
    My question is can I install the new hard drive in the empty under my old hard drive, plug it in and run Windows Easy Transfer directly from my old HDD to the new HDD? Then I could delete the old and move a normal nine until the slot C:\.
    Or, what I have to do it with an external media such as a USB device?

    Windows Easy Transfer can read files in Windows XP, but may not restore on Windows XP.  And no, you can't run it on a disk that is installed, but not on Windows.  Anyway, the answer is no.

  • The Windows Easy Transfer of data application does not work if there are two windows of different language.

    I bought a data transfer cable and I tried to make a transfer of data from the laptop with non - English Windows XP Profesional a laptop with Windows 7 Home via WINDOWS EASY TRANSFER viz English.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/Windows-easy-transfer
    but I was surprised that I got a message "that a different language to the windows version has been so that data transfer can not live there. And above all, there was a message "that the data cable has not been detected."
    Microsoft is working with so many language versions, then why this simple problem is not solve upward? It cannot be too big problem to compensate for a versatile application that would work on all versions of Windows.

    No, it doesn't work of course between the various language versions, has never and will never be.  Will not be fixed either, because Windows XP is in the extended now support (only security patches issued) and becomes entirely non supported in about a year.  Save and move documents using a different method.

  • I want to use Windows Easy Transfer XP to my data, but the software said "computers are old computer."

    I want to use Windows Easy Transfer XP to my data, but the software said that "the two computers are old computer", how do I chanage the parameter in the new computer? In addition, two computers are running in Windows XP system, thank you.

    Thanks for answer you, it is really useful.

    But I have another question:
    Why Windows Easy Transfer is still a Windows XP version?

    Thank you.

    Because Windows Easy Transfer is designed to transfer data FROM a Windows XP computer TO Windows 7 (or Vista) computer.

    For example, you install Windows Easy Transfer on the computer Windows XP, but the output (if it is stored on external media or transmitted over a network connection or cable Easy Transfer) is used by the Vista or Windows 7 computer.
