• Windows Easy Transfer password problem

  I had problems with my computer then before sending it for repair, I saved all my stuff on an external hard drive. Now I have my computer is back with a new hard drive and would like to transfer the information on the external hard drive on my computer repaired with the new hard drive. The files and what-not are save to the external hard drive as one. MIG file. I plugged the external hard drive to my computer then "computer" then "E: (external hard drive). I clicked on the. MIG file and before you start Windows Easy Transfer it tells me that something is opening and if I'm the one behind him to click on "continue". I click on 'Continue' and then a Windows easy transfer opens and asks me a password. I type the windows admin password and it tells me it's the wrong password. What is the password that is supposed to be if not the password admin I looked around and it doesn't seem like there's a kind of generic password (for example, 1234). What should I do?

  I hope that someone a this forum can help out me.

• 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.

• 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.

  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.

• Download & install Windows Easy Transfer

  I am trying download & install Easy Transfer from the site Web of M/S to this PC and have problems.

  You are using the wrong program.

  Windows XP Home Edition does not have Windows Easy Transfer, so you went somewhere on the Microsoft site and downloaded something.  You should have gone to the web page linked above, where you would have had 4 choices: XP 32-bit, XP 64 bit, Vista 32 bit and Vista 64-bit.  Did you download the version appropriate for your system (32-bit XP almost certainly)?

  Assuming that you have downloaded the version appropriate for your system, you should have and then double-click on the icon named "wet7xp_x86.exe" to install Windows Easy Transfer for Windows 7.  The start for this icon must be at the bottom of your start > list all programs.  It is NOT the same as the program that starts the start > all programs > Accessories > system tools > files and Settings Transfer Wizard.  This is the old version, which is designed for the transfer of files, etc. of earlier versions of Windows TO Windows XP.
