• 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 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.

• 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:

• 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.

• 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.

  You can burn your data on CD/DVD or a Flash dive allows you to transfer data.

  Here's info from MS on how to use it:

  Windows Easy Transfer

  Buy an easy transfer cable

  You can buy a cable easy transfer of many computer manufacturers or retailers. To make sure that the cable is designed for Windows Easy Transfer, be sure to look for a "Certified for Windows Vista" logo or the "Works with Windows Vista" on the packaging.

  Buy a cable easy transfer now at Windows Marketplace

  Windows Easy Transfer allows you to easily move the files and settings stored on your PC under Windows 2000, Windows XP, or even Windows Vista to a new PC running Windows Vista. Windows Easy Transfer will automatically transfer things like:

  • 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.

  • Windows Easy Transfer will launch and guide you through the transfer process. Your information and files will transfer at approximately 20 GB per hour.

  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.

  To learn more about the details of the Windows Easy Transfer process, read more at the Windows Vista Help.

• Can I remove the file 'SaveData.mig' after I run Windows Easy Transfer?

  Can I remove the file 'SaveData.mig' after I run Windows Easy Transfer?

  I used easy transfer to move files from an old computer to my new about 12 months ago. The SaveData.mig file takes 22 GB of space on the new computer. I would like to remove it but I don't know if it will mess up all my files that have been transferred to my new computer. Anyone know if I can delete this file in order to free up space? Thank you

  I agree with Mohdrafi - you can remove safely; However, you should have a more recent backup of your current files just to be on the right side (image FULL weekly backup and an incremental backup every day for an external HARD drive - I've seen too many people get burned when their drive hard breaks down or something worse and then they lose all their precious documents (, photos, audio and other files).  There ARE recovery procedures, but they don't always work, and they don't always get everything (especially if you expect to solve the problem or continue to use the PC in the meantime)- and depending on your version of Vista.  Delete this file will NOT affect the files and settings that you restored using the process.  Could have deleted it hours after that the process has been done (once you have a good backup) and it would have been very well then.  If you have a good backup, I can see no reason whatsoever to keep the file.

  If the normal delete function in Vista doesn't work, try using one of the following free products to remove the file.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

  Congratulations to the use of Easy Transfer - this is a pretty cool tool isn't it?  Not sure how many threads that we have here people with issues or recoving given him--I saw a lot.  It seems easy on the surface, but when it doesn't work it can become quite complex and aggravating (and I know people who have unfortunately never were able to retrieve their data and settings no matter what we tried).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
