Windows Easy Transfer - Trasnsfering of files to/from the same machine with the same operating system - Windows XP

I have my old Windows XP, Media Center Edition and has been upgraded from the hard drive because my old one was a lot of noise and I feared an imminent failure. I thought that I would use Windows Easy Transfer to copy and restore all my files on the new drive. I transferred all user data on an external USB hard disk, and managed. However, when I go to restore using Windows Easy Transfer, it doesn't gives me not a choice to restore to my new computer. He sees it only as the old computer and I never have the option. Is there a work around for this?

Hello


1. what applications did you use to transfer the parameters is - this Windows Easy Transfer or if she files and the transfer settings Wizard?
2. have you installed Windows XP on the new hard drive?

Check the items listed below and see if the problem persists.

    Download a program like TreeSize Free (http://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/) to see where the files take up a lot of space.  Be aware that deleting files without knowing what you're doing can cause your system to be unable to restart or cause instability can so be sure you know that you are deleting before you start.  There is no way to extend one hard disk other than to replace it, in which case you need to copy all the files from your old drive to the new.

    It depends only on the BONE of the application server.

    If your OS development and OS is different, you have to compile the fmb in the server again.

    "If I use my drive recovery the program just wonder if I wipe my hard drive and informs me that my data will be destroyed if I use this recovery CD.

    Thanks for the reply!

    Hello

    If you use the disk recovery Toshiba, all data will be erased on the HARD drive.

    Before the start of the resettlement, the HARD drive will be formatted. Malicious software and other software will be deleted.

    So you n t need another drive or another program to erase the HARD drive.

    Try it and you will see that it works. But first, back up your data.

  • I'm unable to save all the files on my pc which runs with Vista Ultimate operating system

    I'm unable to save all the files in any application. The dialog box type of flickers in the background, but nothing happens.
    Happens if I am recording a chart on the web using a web browser. Happens when I create a file in Excel or Word, Paint, and Serif (possibly other applications which I am not using at the moment) and then click on "Save as."

    It happens if I opened a pdf file from any source (be it on my drive hard or on the web) and click on "Save as" to save another copy.

    It happens when I'm using a web-based e-mail service, and if I want to add an attachment, as soon as I click on the Upload button, nothing happens.

    It happens when I try to export a scanned image of my scanner, to a file.

    I get no error with the exception of this shimmering when one would expect to see a dialog box.

    But, it happens when I create a new file in Notepad, which is a weird exception

    It started to arrive 3 days ago, and I have not loaded any new software changed the settings I can think. (with the exception of mcAfee who has downloaded an update almost everyday)

    I restarted my computer several times since and searched the net to find answers, but it seems I'm the only one afflicted.

    I would appreciate if someone can shed some light on this.

    Thank you

    I ran scandisk and check sfc, but that did not help. Instead of trying a system restore, I tried the opposite: installed at every possible update available.

  • connection from the host operating system

    I'm running a Ubuntu Vmware image as a guest of Windows 7 computer host computer.  Is there a setting where I can connect to the instance of ubuntu from my Windows host? For example, I have a client sql on my desk that I want to be able to access mysql running on ubuntu. Is this possible?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Of course it is possible, it's not essentially different, so when you do the same thing between two physical machines, so act accordingly!

    Assuming that you have correctly configured SQL Server and running, then make sure that the firewall on the host and the guest does not block connectivity.

  • Not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer to move files from my old computer to new computer (Windows XP to Windows 7).

    Original title: Easy Transfer password XP to Windows 7.

    I try to use Easy Transfer to move files from my old computer to new computer (XP to Windows 7). I didn't have a password on my old computer, but cannot transfer to the new without one. I tried every password I never used (caps on and outside), as well as the code given at the beginning of the Easy Transfer, but nothing works. What can I do? (I use an external hard drive)

    Hello

    If I'm wrong, please let us know why, but my assumptions that are

    • Your old XP machine is usable
    • It still allows to log
    • There is no password required when you don't sign

    So you can try this...

    1. Click Start
    2. Click on Control Panel
    3. Click on user accounts
    4. Give your XP logon password
    5. Restart your XP machine
    6. Try Easy Transfer and him give the password that you set in step 4

  • I want to use Windows Easy Transfer XP to my data, but the software said "computers are old computer."

    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.

  • How to transfer the old operating system to Windows XP on a drive USB3 to allow the start of a new XP computer

    I have Windows XP SP3 on a Dell computer. I have a new computer with Windows 7 Pro.

    I want the option to be able to start my new computer with XP and run it as an alternative to USB.

    Is there a way I can completely transfer the contents of the drive WITH the XP OPERATING SYSTEM on a regular external USB3 drive so I can start the new computer using XP works like the operating system, when I need?

    Thank you.

    You do not have.  Windows XP doesn't work this way (start of the external drive).

    You can virtualize the old computer (physical to virtual conversion) and run it as a virtual machine on your new system.  Although, honestly, it would be a bit beyond the type of assistance usually given in these home user forums.  A Google search would be ways to virtualize a physical system and/or choose which Manager of virtualization that you want to use (Microsoft VirtualPC, VirtualBox, VMware Player/workstation, etc...)

  • What is the best operating system to upgrade from Vista? Should I buy Windows 7, 8 or 8.1?

    I have Vista 32 bit Home Premium.It does not support Windows Mail.Which is the best operating system to upgrade from Vista? Should I buy Windows 7, 8 or 8.1? I do not have a touch screen system, my system is five years old.

    Original title: upgrade

    Hello WilliamPopat,

    If you want to buy an another operating system, you would do better to buy the latest version, i.e., Windows 8.1 it doesn't matter that you don't have a touch screen like Windows 8.1 will work just as well on a desktop PC / laptop normal.

    However, before rushing and buying a copy of Windows 8.1, I suggest that you look at this link http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/11885-windows-8-upgrade-assistant-download-run.html the link above shows Windows 8 Upgrade Wizard you can download (free) and allows you to check that your PC is compatible with the latest version of Windows.

    According to me, one of my office machines is around 5 or 6 years and Windows 8/8.1 works fine on it.  However, it is best to check your own machine with the wizard upgrade just in case.

    If you did an upgrade and not a clean install, they must remain on your drive. Do a search of *.jpg, *.jpeg and see what you get. If I remember correctly, you will have a folder windows.old that they appear in. You can use Windows Explorer if you want to look in your records in the Windows.Old directory.

    I hope this helps.

  • I can save is no longer a PDF file locally from the s/w upgrade.

    I install Acrobat Reader DC last version. Since then, I have the following problems:


    I can save is no longer a PDF file locally from the s/w upgrade. I can download for the cloud and export to docs and download on my PC. But I can't open a PDF file and save it to my desktop. If I am sent an e-mail with a PDF instead of opening, reading and recording, I have open, close, and then go to my email and save as an attachment.


    Why? I paid for my export utility a couple of years and never had any problem
