Transfer Files, External HDD Enclosure

Mar 23, 2008

I am trying to transfer files from my old computer hard drive using an usb 2.0 enclosure. My new computer is running Vista, the old hard drive is running xp. When I plugged it in, my computer sees it as a mass storage device, but I cannot access nor see any files on the old hard drive. I'm getting kinda frustrated, I tried to link the two computers via ethernet that didn't work. My old computer has motherboard issues and the usb ports don't work. And it will not burn dvds it errors out, so I couldn't transfer my info that way. Am I doing something wrong here? Can someone give me some advise?

Permission To Transfer Files Or Folders

Nov 26, 2008

They are connected through a wireless network set to private, with file sharing and network discovery and no passwords required. Both users are set to administrator with no password required. What I want is permission to transfer files or folders between the C drives of both machines.

I get as far as seeing these drives when I click on the computer's network location but then cannot gain access to the drive itself. I feel as if I'm close. I've trying playing with the permissions on both C drives and it looks like I've set everything I can.

Apr 27, 2009

I want to transfer all my files ect onto a standby computer, to have a fallback onto the information contained in them. I was under the impression that the necessary software for the transfer and Synchronization was in Vista Windows, but having connected the computers with a transfer cable (which was installed as new hardware on both computers) nothing further happened although I was supposed to get instructions on the Standby computer how to proceed with the transfers.

Hard Drive And Steal/transfer Files?

Mar 19, 2010

can a hacker in my apartment complex who really wants to, connect to this router and hack into my laptop's hard drive and steal/transfer files? I have not shared any folders. I am wondering if they can hack through Vista file sharing, to access folders that aren't even shared. If so, how long would it take them to hack in if they wanted to? (I have since secured my router after leaving it open for two hours, but am asking this question for peace of mind.

Transfer Files: Store Selected Saved On A 64bit Machine?

Jun 23, 2008

I tried out Vista Ultimate 64bit for a month and got whipped by driver issues. I installed Vista Ultimate 32bit on a 2nd partition and tried using Windows Easy Transfer to transfer files and settings from the 64bit installation and pick them up in the 32bit installaion. This is the error I get every time I try to complete the transfer: "The store you selected was saved on a 64bit machine. Windows Easy Transfer cannot apply the data." Is there a way to use WET to transfer files from a Vista-64bit installation? If not WET, is there another utility?

Did A Restore Full Backup And Also Used FAST (files And Settings Transfer Wizard)

Feb 11, 2009

Last week I upgraded a HPxw4400X workstation from WinXP Pro w/SP3 to Vista Business. I did a full backup and also used FAST (files and settings transfer wizard). However, I soon found out that the DVD drive was "broke". HP told me it was because of the upgrade. They said to do a fresh install. Did another backup, fresh install, then a restore. Had lots of problems with BSOD, but a selective restore got it working again. But he can't see MS Office, nor navigate to it. I can see it when logged in as an admin. I thought of copying files and folders between profiles (he has 3 of 'em - , ., and ..000). The former is the oldest so I thought I could copy the App Data and User Data over it'd work (in both Documents and Settings, and Users), but it didn't work. I've been here working on various issues for 28 hours, so I'm not thinking as clearly as I'd like.

Windows Easy Transfer - Program Crashes During Transfer

Jun 15, 2008

I am attempting to transfer files & settings using the Belkin Easy Transfer cable from an XP computer to a Vista computer. All starts well by showing that the two computers are connected. But after finding the files and settings and providing the amount of data to be transferred, it starts gathering information but then shows a flashing disconnection icon in the upper right of both computers' transfer windows and freezes. This happens at a different place each time, but early in the procedure (after about 10 minutes). Would anyone have any advice? I have done everything by the book, as far as I'm aware.

I have a HP desktop running Vista premium. I "had" an Emachine that ran XP, but it died. (I think the power supply went out) Whatever the case I am not going to get the XP computer fixed, but I do want some files off the old harddrive out of it. How do I do that?

Cannot Transfer The Data

May 2, 2009

I got as far as connecting the transfer cable on both computers. The action lights flickered on both for about 15min and then they stopped. I waited for another half an hour but nothing further was happening, so I eliminated the transfer Windows. I found that no data has been transferred although both have Win.Vista Business.

No Data Transfer

Sep 7, 2008

I have 2 vista and 2 xp mechines on my network. When I transfer files between my 2 vista mechines I see transfer rates between 5 and 7 mgs, but when transfering from vista to xp I'm lucky if I see 1 mg. I mainly noticed it because I just set up a xp for file backup and its not running a firewall (not even windows firewall) and the data transfer is taking forever.

Program Transfer Second HD

Jun 13, 2008

First: I'm thinking of getting a second HD and I want to leave the OS on the main HD and move / transfer all my programs like office, World of Warcraft, DVD programs etc. Is this possible or will it cause a conflict? Is there a good way to do this?

Secondly: I had to use the Vista Upgrade option on this disk to correctly fix some of my files which had been deleted by a poor vista update, namely system restore and windows update. Now I get rnadom IRQ errors and USB Port errors which crash the computer. I have updated to SP1 on Home Premium x 64 bit what could be cuasing this problem?

Vista 32 Bit Can Transfer The OS 64 Bit

Feb 21, 2009

so my laptop is pretty much dead, wont be using it ever again. And it has Vista Home Premium 32Bit on it. I have decided to make a desktop instead, cheaper in my opinion, and I don't really need a laptop anymore. So i was wondering if i can transfer the OS to my desktop. I heard you just have to type in the Key, and if it does not go through you activate it by phone. Is this true? Can i do this. It would in turn save me around 150$. Also if this does work can i really upgrade it to a 64Bit for 10$ or something?

Not An Easy Transfer

Jan 5, 2009

the instructions for both the cable and Windows Easy Transfer program are practically non-existant. The directions for the cable said to install the software onto the XP machine (easy enough), and then connect the two computers with the cable, again, very simple. Then I was to follow the on screen instructions.

Instructions were as follows: "Windows automatically detects the connection". That's it, no buttons to click, nothing to type in, no load screen, no scan, nothing. So I waited... and waited... and waited. Nothing happened. So I unhooked the cable, disconnected both computers from the internet, disabled any and all firewalls, spyware software, antivirus software, anything that could possibly interfere with the connection. And I tried again... and again... and again. Not Happy, not simple, not easy! Am I doing something wrong? Did I miss a step? Or is Vista really the problem everyone has been proclaiming it?

I'm running Vista Home Premium on a 2 month old HP. There are 3 harddrives --- the original one from HP, the old one from my old computer(both internal), and a drive that is external, connected via USB, thatI use to hold my backup disk image files.For a few weeks, no problem. Lately, every time I double click on theexternal drive in Windows Explorer, Windows Easy Transfer startsrunning. If I right-click instead and then click on "Open", there'sno problem (Easy Transfer does not open). Any ideas on how to stop this unwanted loading of Easy Transfer?
