Please follow the documented procedure to the recovery of data from an old profile and answer here if you have problems at any stage. Specifically the Favorites are stored in places.sqlite and password are stored in key3db and signons.sqlite (the two files are necessary).

Please mind that Firefox generates random names for the profile directories: d not copy the directories of any profile, as their name will not work on another computer. Instead, copy the contentof the profile folder.

    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:

    Transfer files and settings with Windows Easy Transfer in Windows 8

    Windows easy transfer supports several methods to transfer your files and settings.
    You can use Windows easy transfer to transfer information to a computer running Windows 8 computers with one of the following operating systems:
    • Windows 8
    • Windows 7
    • Windows Vista
    • Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Service Pack 3 (SP3)
    NOTE: Windows Easy Transfer cannot transfer files between a 64-bit version of Windows and a 32-bit version of Windows. Instead, the files must be transferred manually using external storage devices. To find the version of Windows on your computer, see the is the Version on my computer 32-bit or 64-bit Windows
    ? support document.
    Step 1: Determine the best method of transfer

    When you transfer files between Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 computers, choose a method that works on both computers. Windows easy transfer supports the following transfer methods:
    • External hard drive or USB flash drive: to use a USB flash drive, you need a USB port on each computer. If you use an external hard drive, it must be compatible with both computers.
    • Easy transfer cable: you need a special USB cable designed to work with Windows 8 and Windows Easy Transfer and a USB port on each computer. If you don't have an easy transfer cable, you can order one online or get one at an electronics store. The easy transfer cable is supported on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers.
      NOTE standard USB cable: A cannot be used to transfer files and settings between computers.

    • Network: both computers must be connected to the same cable or wireless network and both computers must be able to share files and folders.

    To decide which method to use, consider the amount of information you will sit. If you are transferring everything from all users on the computer, or all of your user account files, an easy transfer cable, external hard drive or a network works well. If you transfer only a few files or folders, a USB works well.

    • Windows easy transfer change

      How can I change the destination of my D drive on my drive c in my new computer - easy transfer continues to send to D that does not have enough space

      Hi B Elwell,

      Thank you for writing to Microsoft answers Community Forums.

      Drive redirection is an option only if Windows Easy Transfer detects that the player on your computers new and old names do not match. For example, if you choose to transfer files and settings from the C: and D: drives on your old computer, but your new computer has a C: drive only, then you will be asked to choose which drive on your new computer you want to transfer information to.

      If both computers have the same drive letters, you will not be able to see this page. Instead, information on each drive on your old computer is transferred to the respective drives on your new computer. By example, if your old computer has C: and D: drives, then information on these disks will be transferred to drives C: and D: on your new computer.

      If you want to create new drives or increase the disk space on your new computer, do so before starting the transfer.

      I hope this helps.

      Kind regards

    • Problems with Windows Easy Transfer

      I tried several times to use file transfer for my old HP XP on my new HP Vista computer files.  First time I made "all user files" and stopped to transfer to half way and says that my D: drive is complete on the new Vista.  So, I made a start to recovery to factory settings and tried again.

      Second time I tried to transfer, I disabled the D: drive and tried to keep it short, not as many files.  He transferred what I asked for, but these files under a separate user.  And once again, flashing at me my D: drive is very low on space.

      I did another system of recovery, but it did not work.  D: drive is always full.  I do another system of recovery currently see.  I negligence has not set a restore point before you start.  Women for the India tech support was no help at all.

      What I am doing wrong?  Why Easy Transfer work "easily"?  I have so many games, movies, and music on my XP I can't copy on disk since I don't have a burner to work.  I'm not so concerned about the transfer of parameters like many music, although I hate to lose all my favorites in outlook express and web pages.

      Thanks for any help.

      • User accounts

      • Files and folders

      • Contacts, settings, and e-mail messages

      • Photos, music and videos

      • Windows settings

      • Program data files and settings

      • Internet settings

      There are several ways that you can use Windows Easy Transfer; Choose how you prefer to connect your two computers, select the data you want to transfer, then let Windows Easy Transfer do the work for you.

      Easy transfer cable

      A single cable is a special USB cable that is designed to work with Windows Easy Transfer by creating a direct link between your old PC and new PC. One of these cables is the most simple and fast method for the transfer and is recommended if you do not have access to a network. An easy transfer cable will transfer data from the PC running Windows XP or Windows Vista on a PC running Windows Vista.

      • Install the small software application provided with your cable (or download here) on your current PC.

      • Connect the cable to both computers.

      Use a home network or small business

      If you already have a wired or wireless network, it's a great way to transfer all your data. You can use your network to transfer your data in real-time on your network or by using a shared folder on the network.

      Using an external hard drive

      If you have an external hard drive, Windows Easy Transfer can copy your data on this drive and then copy the data from the drive to your new computer.

      With the help of CD or DVD

      Windows Easy Transfer can use your CD or DVD burner PC to transfer your data. This solution is not ideal, but can work well if you move only a small amount of data that can fit on a single disc. If you have a large amount of data that does not fit on a disc, it is possible to use this transfer method using multiple disks.

    • 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:

    • Windows Easy Transfer - not enough disk space

      I thought I was effective with my space of C: drive when I created a partition of 19G for Win 7 64 bit install.  Installation went well.  But now, I get an error when I try to use Windows Easy Transfer to replace the files and settings in the C: drive.  I'm getting "there is not enough available disk space to transfer your files and settings.

      I tried to extend the partition of 19G using the diskpart command line, but obviously I don't understand this thing of partition or volume.  I have 908G free on the C: drive.  Why don't Windows Easy Transfer make me do?

      You can walk me through how to get Windows Easy Transfer to use the available space?  I tried creating and formatting a volume with free space and which does not work either.  (Not shown in the screenshot.)

      Screenshots:

      I solved my problem and will document the answer if someone reads this thread.

      Not being warned of partition, I was really afraid of 'delete partition' given the warning message.  Once I thought logically through what would happen that I chose to delete the partition.

      Deletion of de facto partition the partition itself is no longer accessible, but it did not space reconciliations.  Once the partition has been deleted, it was labeled "unallocated" in the management of the computer-> disk management GUI.  At that time I could right click on the c: partition and choose to extend it.

    • Windows Easy Transfer - How can I get rid of this?

      My computer is a Lenovo Thinkpad T400 with Windows 7 Professional.

      One of my friends scanning a lot of pictures and then sent me to a Toshiba flash drive. When I plugged the flash drive on my computer, he started something called Windows Easy Transfer and wanted to know if I wanted to transfer everything. I had no idea what he was talking about, but I thought, well, Yes, I want to transfer the pictures that my friend sent me. I assumed that Windows Easy Transfer, it was how it was done. I mean, it's a Windows program; I just didn't know it would be bad to use.

      Well, when it was over, I got this box labeled "Windows Easy Transfer reports." It seems that a lot of software, settings and a user account with the name of my friend about it was transferred to my computer!

      I don't want that! What's happening on Earth?

      Now I have things on my computer as "215 Apps - DealVault," 'Adobe Flash Player 12 ActiveX,' 'ArcSoft media 2' 'Conduit SearchProtect', 'Mindspark Interactive Network HeadlineAlley Toolbar and InboxAce Toolbar,' 'PC TEKNIX Extreme Flash Player,' "SmartApps DealVault," "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver", 'Intel TV Wizard' and so on! I recognize even more of that, and a lot of it sounds like malware, or stuff of advertising and badly behaved toolbars that I don't want on my computer!

      I searched "Uninstall programs" and none of them are still on the list! Where are they and how do I get rid of them?

      I also do not want user account from my friend on my computer, and I can't find that either. According to the report of transfer, "users successfully transferred: [name] transferred to user." But when I use change user, there is no account he marked [name].

      In addition, under the transfer report tab, there is a line called 'System Settings', and this line does not provide even a Details link.

      When all this stuff has been on my computer and how do I get rid of him?

      Hello squirm,

      We apologize for the late response.

      It seems you've got some corrupt short icons of the user account of your friends through Windows easy transfer.

      I suggest you perform a restore of the system to cancel the easy transfer.

      Check out the link:

      System restore

      http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/system-restore

      Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

      Hope the helps of information. Please respond with the status of the issue so that we can help you further.

      Thank you

    • Loss of historical emails using Windows Easy Transfer

      Was previously running Windows XP with Office 2010, including Outlook 2010. Want to upgrade to Office 2013 which does not work on Windows XP so decided to upgrade to Windows 7 Home premium.  Following the instructions in Microsoft that I used Windows Easy Transfer to save all settings and data by following the instructions on an external hard drive. Has also created a copy of My Documents just to be safe. Following the instructions I installed Windows 7, reinstalled the data and settings from the Windows download file is then installed Office 2013.

      All data files appear to be present and my contacts were all in Outlook 2013 however no historical emails were present. I had a lot of stored in subfolders under Inbox and sent messages and everything disappeared.

      It seems strange that all contacts were copied and transferred across using Windows Easy Transfer, but not historical emails. There is no specific reference to this problem in Microsoft "upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7 instruction set.

      Is it true that the files containing the e-mails were copied, but Outlook 2013 is looking for them in a different place, or does Windows Easy Transfer copy not the Inbox and sent to the files that would be a huge gap?

      Windows Easy Transfer is not good to backup Outlook emails at all.

      If you did a custom installation, check if the Windows.old folder to the root of the hard disk to see if your. PST file is there and copy it to your Documents folder in Windows 7.

      Save the folder outlook located under:

      C:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\Account_Name\Local Settings\Microsoft\Outlook

      When you migrate to Windows 7, and then reinstall Microsoft Office, just backup copy of the contents of the folder Outlook in the following location:

      C:\Users\Account_Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
