View 2 Replies View RelatedHad a HP running Vista Home Premium. System board croaked and owner elected to buy a new HP with Win 7 Home Premium. I figured it would be a piece of cake to mount the old HD via a USB connection and run Windows 7 Easy Transfer to migrate things from there to the new computer.I had to copy everything over manually, one profile at a time.
This seems like an obvious scenario that WET should handle but it doesn't. Was there any other automated process I could have used? Just curious at this point as the work has already been done and the new computer is up and running.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI used XP Transfer Wizard to store my files (over 200GB) on external hard drive. Now I have Windows 7 machine and can't use them directly.I tried to use Virtual PC XP mode to import files but Virtual PC can only handle something around 136 GB virtual hard disk, so after 6 hours of transfer it stopped...

i currently have windows vista with windows mail and im looking to do a clean install to windows 7,
im planning to use windows live mail, how should i backup my emails in windows mail to restore them onto windows live mail?
I saved my files and settings from a previous installation of windows 7 to an external hard drive using windows easy transfer. Now when I try to transfer those files and setting to my new installation I get the following message:
Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer your files and settings.
The message pops up only a few seconds after the transfer begins.Why is this?! I need those files and windows has screwed me.Everything is basically the same as before I reinstalled. Same computer, same windows 7 installation just recovered to factory settings.Same system language as before.BTW I'm on a Toshiba L505 laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium.
I have tried all the usual suspects such as a clean boot and uninstalling my antivirus to rule out third party interference. I have more than enough space on both my computer and on the external hard drive. I have tried only transferring a user account a few MBs large. I have reinstalled the OS twice just in case something went wrong there. I have clicked on the .MIG file directly. All lead to the same error message.The transfer file seems to be intact and not currupt
Is there another software other than WET that can use the same transfer file that WET created to restore my files? Please help me solve this if you can or at least point me in the right direction because right now I'm clueless. I can't emphasize how important those files are to me. I've searched for solutions on several forums and it seems that this is a problem people have been having for years now and windows hasn't provided an answer yet.
An interesting note, When I reboot the laptop after trying to do the transfer, a new user account appears at startup alongside the one I normally use.This new user account has the same unique name of the user account I am trying to restore but that's where the similarity ends.All the settings for this account are default settings and empty folders.
I have just bought a laptop with Windows 7.On my main computer which is Vista I have the calendar set up to appear as soon as I switch on so all my appointments are there.On the laptop with Windows 7 the calendar seems to be within windows mail live.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been working with I.T. for years, and when I went to a client's last night to share a drive over the network so they can install a program on a secondworkstation and use the database on the original machine. Anyway, sharing this drive shouldn't have taken me more than five minutes. However, I'm encountering problems I've never seen before. The Win7 PC sees the Vista PC on the network, but not any of the shared drives. And when I try to explore the Vista PC from the Win7 PC, I get an errors: ""Your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (Vista PC) is not responding."Both PCs are on the same network, obviously, AV software and Windows firewall disabled on both, Homegroup off on Win 7 machine, both machines on same workgroup "WORKGROUP," set with static local IPs/DNS, etc., and both able to access network resources and the internet. One thing I HAVE noticed, however, is that when exploring the network on the Vista PC, I can't see anything (including the Win7 machine,) except the Vista PC itself and the router.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what's wrong? I've tried pretty much everything I can think of. Even the SFC on the Vista PC didn't find any issues. I've checked the services, and all that should be running are set to Auto, and are started and running. I've looked for hours online, trying every possible option I can find, to no avail. I'm completely stumped! Never in my years in IT have I encountered this.
I have an application with a setup.ini file that is causing the Application Compatibility Service to flip out when I try to install it. I edited the setup.ini file to include the following (which is probably incorrect):
[Win7]
MajorVer=6
MinorVer=1
MinorVerMax=2
BuildNo=7000
PlatformId=2
If anyone has an idea of how to correctly edit this file so that Windows 7 knows there are no compatibility issues, it would be much appreciated.
I was always asking myself why microsoft hasn't included the option to press a key at boot menu and edit the boot parameters on-the-fly. Well, maybe it was included in Vista and I didn't know...but I accidentally found that:
If you press the F10 key while booting Windows 7 (either at boot menu or before) you get the option to edit the boot parameters:
You can edit the boot line , similar to XP's boot.ini way :
e.g.
/NOEXECUTE=OPTIN
It's strange, cause it's not mentioned anywhere at the boot menu, that F10 key lets you edit the boot parameters!
I have a weird problem when I want to enter my IPs parameters.
In the "Network Lan Properties" of my network card, when I select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPV4)" the button "Properties" is disable thus I can't enter the IP address, Netmask and Gateway. I tried to disable IPV6 and reboot but it went without any success.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI can't transfer any files that are bigger than 1mb to any of my flash drives. I've tried many different sizes and types of files using different USBs and different ports and even formatted the USBs. I can transfer files in between my two internal HDDs without any problems. Also it seems if the file system is FAT32 it transfers files normally. When the file system is NTFS it has a speed of 600-1000 MB/s which shouldn't be possible since they are usb 2 flash drives. I wouldn't really mind but i need to transfer 4+ gb files.

View 9 Replies View Relatedabout to do a major hardware upgrade on one of the win7 PCs in the house (will call it PC A), pretty much building a new computer so expecting to have to do a reinstall of the os like i did when upgrading my gaming pc (which will be PC B ). trying to backup important files on PC A by copying them over the network to PC B but am so far unsuccessful.
both computers are running 64bit win7 ultimate. both can see each other and access each others shares fine. just can't copy files over.
trying to copy the files from PC A to one of the slave drives on PC B on both PCs: the drives are shared, network discovery is on, password protected sharing is off, file and printer sharing is on. also tried going directly to the folder on PC B and setting the permissions so that 'everyone' had 'full control'
i don't see anything that would cause an issue. yet when i am on PC A trying to copy files to PC B it says that i need permission to copy the files.
i could send them from PC A to PC B instead of having to copy everything to the public documents folder in PC A and using PC B to grab them.
