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:

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:

Good luck!

  • Windows Easy Transfer mixed with profiles

    I used Windows Easy Transfer to transfer data and settings of a Windows Vista Edition System Home Premium.  I had to restore the OS using HP restore.

    I then went to restore data backed up using WET, and here is what happened:

    1. I had four profiles to be restored, and therefore a screen four profiles on the left and on the right to choose a profile from the drop downs name (there were four of them).

    2. I clicked on all fall down and they were all empty (i.e. are no profile name).

    3. rather spend every day trying to figure why no names appeared, I decided to manually enter the names of required profiles.

    Example, 1, 2, 3 profile profile profile, profile 4 included profile 1 is at the top of the left column and the rest followed below.  Then in the right hand column, I typed in profile 1, then under this profile 2 and so on for the others.  So if you are looking for in the left column, I adapted exactly the profile names in the right-hand columns.

    4. once WET was over, here's where the mixing occurred upward.  To restart, that I noticed that the profiles were available, but what has happened is that the icon image for profile 1 Welcome screen has been transposed with the image of the icon for the profile 4.  And further, if I selected profile 1 in the Welcome screen, it contains profile files 4 profile 4 has the files belonging to profile 1.  Then, I read the documents and settings directories and noticed that all the directories for profile 1 are included in the profile 4 and vice versa.

    OK, then what's happened?  Or what could have happened to cause this?  What is the solution?  Thank you.

  • Satellite L300 - recovery ends with the error message: 10-FA1Z - 045D

    My Satellite L300 is 3 months old and one a few days ago I resorted to the use of the 4 recovery DVDs.
    After several hours, I get an error: 10-FA1Z - 045D message. I made 3 attempts and get the same message every time.

    Any suggestions?

    My only suggestion for that is you should contact the closest service provider authorized as soon as possible. I am not sure what can be the problem, but it must be HARD drive issue or a problem with the recovery image.

    In both cases, you will get free and if necessary service service can order new DVD of facilities of recovery for you.
    Do not wait too long and vase your time with her. Call the nearest service tomorrow and talk to them.

  • Having problems with Windows Easy Transfer

    I just bought a Dell laptop with W7 installed. It's all very well except the transfer of files/settings. I started the easy transfer and selected the option of wireless transfer. My old machine will connect to our router via a map of 54 Mbps and the new machine will connect to the router via a 24 GHz 802.11n built in the card. When all the files have been selected, they added up to 5.2 GB. I started the transfer, and it worked for 36 hours. For the last 6 hours, transfer screen said 1 minute left. Since the said warning do not use the computer that I don't know what to do. Is it possible to see if Easy Transfer is hung up? If it is blocked, how can it be restarted?

    Tahnks for your help!

    Wireless? Windows Easy Transfer is not something you do on a wireless connection. Use a wired connection, or create a .mig (Windows Easy Transfer file), save on an external hard drive or locally and transfer it to a new computer.

    install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD on the old computer (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) or download it at (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer).  run it and create a WET (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can have it stored there.

    You should be able to easily restore these files if they were created using Windows Easy Transfer in Windows Vista. Simply click Start, type: easy Windows press enter on your keyboard
     
    Follow the wizard screen, select the type of support that you restore your files, select the computer that you restore, navigate to its location, select the file .mig Windows Easy Transfer and click on restore.

    The Windows Easy Transfer Wizard, then analyze the content of the files and ask you what you want to restore if multiple accounts have also been supported.

    Once you have confirmed that you want to restore, click transfer to begin the restore process, after it is complete, the wizard will propose programs, you need to reinstall, and a list of what it has been transferred, you will be asked to restart your system to apply permanently changes.

  • Windows easy transfer. I can't use transfer to move files to the new computer

    I used windows easy transfer to back up my files to an external hard drive before doing a clean install of windows 7, XP.

    I am unable to find any "windows easy transfer" files on the hard drive for transfer to the new computer.

    ALL the files from my old computer are there and I am able to access it from the external hard drive.

    Please tell me there is an easy way to transfer files and I don't have to do it manually.

    What is the error message when you try to restore files in Windows 7?

    Also, did you really use the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard to back up your files or did you use the built in the files and Settings Transfer wizard in Windows XP? If you used the files and Settings Transfer Wizard, that won't work no.

    You must install Windows Easy Transfer on Windows XP, save the files as one. MIG file on your external drive, restore it on the Windows 7 computer. See for instructions:

  • 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.

  • 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\
