Transfer older files from OS to the newest operating system

Can I transfer files from Win 98SE to Windows XP.  If so, how?

So, here are a few suggestions. What you do depends on 1) if the Win98 box has the material; (2) the amount of data you have.

1. Since you have Win98 second edition, USB is supported. Copy the data files on a USB key. You need to get the Win98 drivers on site of the thumb drive mftr. ; or

2nd burn data on a CD - R (not CD -RW ) if the Win98 box has a burner; or

3 remove the hard drive from Win98 and put in a USB drive or adapter box and attach it to the XP box. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Hello

    You should be able to solve this problem by activating the mode Hibernate in the command prompt. If she hibernates, it will save an image where you are on your hard drive and you will be in business once the power returns.
    You must also make sure that your power options would spend in hibernation mode when the power is lower at some point.
    1. Click Start and type 'CMD '.
    2. Right click on CMD and run as administrator.
    3. Click on continue when you are prompted.
    4. "Type in the command prompt" "" powercfg.exe /Hibernate on.
    5. Go to the options to be able to enter the control panel by typing in "Power Options."
    6. You will see the different power options. The one you have selected, that's what you are currently using. Click on "change plan settings".
    7. Click on "change power avancΘs."
    8. Scroll down to the battery and you will see the options of low battery and critical battery responses. Make sure they are set for the hibernation.
    I hope that after these steps, your problems. Please let me know if you have any questions.

  • Transfer of files from the old HARD DRIVE to new computer without an old computer. (He's dead - can not use) I have the hard drive, but need help to transfer my old files and settings.

    ·        My old Win XP computer died - it is completely unusable. I bought a new PC with Win 7 Pro and 1 TB. I still have the old HARD DRIVE (250 GB) which I have attached on the new computer using an external enclosure supports SATA drives. The external hard drive is connected to the computer in USB 3.0. I checked that the new computer can see the external hard drive. (I also used for backups by changing the hard drive with a 2 TB drive 'mass storage' - that works.)

    I searched the internet for possible solutions and found no help. If the transfer of files from Microsoft would change the disc to analyze, it would be simple. But if I select the OLD computer it scans the disk I'm on (new) - automatically.

    Is there anyone who has had the same problem? He must be because computers die all the time and people buy new computers - who then, somehow, they get the former transferred files. I could do it manually, but that wouldn't change the settings. Last resort would be to buy an old computer XP (SATA), replace the drive. Transfer the files, and then sell this computer.

    You may be able to recover your data files, but I hope that you will set up your new system to automatically backup a second internal hard drive or an external USB hard drive.

    This suggestion may not work, but it's worth a try. Buy an external USB drive enclosure. They come in two sizes 2.5 "for the portable computer drives and 3.5" for desktop disks. You can purchase adapters for 3.5 "envelopes so that they can also be used with a portable player. Place the hard drive in the enclosure and connect to a USB port of another computer. Several hard disks are more able to start, but the contents of the disc can still be accessed, read and copied from the disk because you do not use the operating system on a failed disk.

    Here is an example of the type of device, I suggest:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=external+hardrive+enclosure&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=14388537836&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=556960941559985931&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&ref=pd_sl_32uorbwbuk_b

    You need only to the speaker, that you see are not necessarily more expensive. Thereafter, you can put an old hard drive usable, an abandoned because you need a larger drive internal, in the enclosure and use it as additional external storage.

  • How can I transfer a file from the operating system to a backup of the production running VM virtual machine?

    Problem:  After I do a backup one using ghettoVCB on a local VMFS volume, I have a virtual machine that I can start something happened to that running.  However, sometimes I just need a file from the OS level, which means that I would need to start to get them, but then I have an IP address conflict.  I can't imagine a way to have the NICs turned off and still be able to move the file.  If I change the IP addresses, the software that I need to create the file that I need to transfer no longer works because, although there no need of constant connectivity to the seller, it is locked to the public IP address.http://communities.vmware.com/images/emoticons/sad.gif

    Material:  I have two 4 ESXi hosts to work, each with local VMFS volumes.  They share a private vlan common and a vlan common public.  They each ssh, ftp, wput, wget, and rsync available.  I have a Windows 2003 Server VM which also hosts a NFS and the VI client and other VMWare tools.  It also has private and public interfaces as do virtual machines that would be to make and receive the OS files.

    Question:  How can I transfer a file from the operating system to a backup of the production running VM virtual machine?

    Thank you!

    Yes Mr President, make sure you set the network on this virtual machine to be connected to the 'Internal' vswitch, you set up before turning the power on to the virtual machine.

    Hello

    Some clarification would be useful.

    What type of file you have?

    What do you do with it?

    The easiest way might use dropbox or onedrive. Or you want to change the file on the iPad?

    MP3-files are also. And with iTunes you can copy those dear to your iPad too.

  • Transfer video files from my JVC Everio camcorder problems

    I am trying to transfer video files from my JVC Everio camcorder to my computer to play on windows media player - windows XP, but receive an error code: C00D11D1 say there are problems with my sound or images, but there is no update for windows media player?

    It is a generic code and a lot of different solutions.

    To help you, can you confirm that this is the sequence of events:

    * you transfer the video files to your PC
    * then you try to open them in WMP
    * gives the error message celebrates

    You may well have a codec problem, that can be solved in 2 ways:

    * Download and use Gspot (Google for it). Drag the file in question on the small window which is Gspot and it will tell you what are the different audio and video codecs. Serach the web and download the forms.

    * Download and install a Cedec such as K-Lite package.

    See you soon,.

  • Transfer of files from one folder to another

    Hi all
    I have a problem regarding the transfer of files please help. My problem is there is two files a SHIPMENT and another is the Inbox in a m/c. I want to move/transfer of files from the Inbox Outbox using codes/PL/SQL procedure. Is this possible?
    If possible please tell me how?

    Thanks in advance

    Concerning
    Sanjit Manon

    There is no syntax to move several files at once. You move each file individually and have a loop that goes through the files that you want to move.

    If you do not know the contents of the source directory, which complicates life. The package UTL_FILE does not tell you which files exist in a directory. I prefer a Java stored procedure to list the contents of a directory-Tom has a [example of Java stored procedure | http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0:P11_QUESTION_ID:439619916584]. You can also call a DBMS_SCHEDULER shell script to get a list of directories.

    I'd be a little curious as to why you use PL/SQL to move files from a directory on a database server to another directory on the same server where you also don't know the names of the files that you are moving. This seems like something a little strange to PL/SQL.
