My laptop died and I removed the hard drive.I hooked the hard drive up to my new laptop via a SATA/IDE cable.I can see the old hard drive in the E drive and it appears that all the contents are there by the size of the hard drive (same as when I had it in the old laptop) but I can only see, actually view, a very small percentage of the drive. My goal: I want to transfer all old music, word documents and photos from old laptop into new laptop.
I want to use the restore CD's on my laptop, win2000, but I'd like to save both data files and installed software and drivers. Is it possible if I can transfer to an external hard drive? Or, can I only save the data files? How can I save the software and drivers?
I have two computers, on one computer there is a irrepairable version of windows, and I still had some files I wanted to save. So I bought a hard drive enclosure so I could transfer the files onto my laptop, the one I'm using right now. However I used to have a password for my account, and my files were marked private. Now when I try to go into those files, it says 'Access Denied' I was wondering if there was anyway to go around this obstacle, those files are needed.
I just got a laptop running XP home & my pc also runs XP home. I want to put a lot of date files on it, & some of them won't fit on a CD. Is there any way to conntect & send them with a USB cable?
I'm curious. Is it possible to take my current copy of XP that came with my computer, uninstall it / remove it onto a flash drive / cd (even transfer it to my laptop) and then use it on a new computer that I'm going to get? They are charging $80-100 for a copy of XP and this could significantly reduce my price. I would also need to know how to install it on this new computer if this is possible, which is unlikely.

I bought a new laptop with Windows XP in it, I wanted to transfer some files from my Desktop PC which has Vista to my laptop with XP, I bought a Belkin USB Data Transfer Cable to transfer files with help of Windows Easy Transfer but when I installed the software provided with it, it seemed that I can only transfer files from XP to Vista.
Does anyone know how I can transfer my files from my desktop computer to my laptop without having to take the long way around by making a million CDs? My desktop seems to be on its last leg with all the error messages and since it won't let me download any upgrades without the oriignal disc, which I cannot find, it has not been been updated in a while. So, I want to move everything over to my laptop.
I am about to leave a company. I will need to return their laptop, I would like to scrub all traces of my internet searches.I have admin access on this laptop but do not know how to make sure all traces of my searches have been removed and can not be retrieved.
I'm hoping someone on here can at least help me to get files off my laptop -My fiance turned her laptop off yesterday prior to us going out. When we came back, she tried to turn it on and it would should her "compaq" bootup screen, then it would show a black screen. Eventually it would read: windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: Ntoskrnl.exe Please re-install a copy of the above file.So I put the Windows disk in, ran the recovery console, and followed the microsoft directions (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314477) - doing method 3 and 2.
My desktop runs Win XP Pro. All drives are shared I got a new laptop that has Win XP Home. Both are connected to my network and I can see each machine on the other. I want to access files stored on the desktop to install software, but I get an error message on the laptop that I don't have the necessary ''Permissions''. How do I correct this?
Any ideas on removing ALL unneeded files from my XP PRO installation. I bought XP Pro for my laptop, but i probably should have bought XP Home. My C: drive is partitioned at 3 GIG. its a laptop and i don't mind getting rid of ALL CAB files also, when i travel, ill carry the CD.
I have one laptop that has been corrupted and will no longer boot. I have since removed the HD and place it in an USB enclosure. I have connected it to another Laptop running xp and have no problem viewing the contents of the drive.
At first I was unable to access the administrators documents, but after booting in safe mode, I changed ownership of the entire drive. At this point I am able to access every folder though I can not open any of the files.
I have a Compaq laptop that I bought about a year ago. Of course, I did not get a Windows disk with it and I cannot find the software that I did get. When I try to start it, it says that Windows cannot start because a file is missing or corrupt. The file is "windowssytem32configsystem". It suggests that I attempt to repair it using the original Setup CD-ROM, which, of course, I don't have.
my laptop gave me the blue screen and the boot disk could not get it back up.I purchased a plug n play USB 2.5" hard disk enclosure.I connected it to my second laptop and it recognizes it as another drive F:I can see all the directories and files, but cannot access them.I ran a Scan for Virus on the F drive and it found nothing.I get an error popup "File or directory is corrupted and unreadable" when I double click.
I bought a laptop from someone. Dell 6230S. It has windows XP sp2. I reloaded Windows and made myself the administrator. The person who had this before me has a group of files, lets call them JONAH (not real name) about 1/2 GB in size and I can't delete them!! Actually I've managed to delete some but not all. Jonah is about 1/2 the size it used to be. They're located in C:documents and Settings and they contain all his old files including his windows files, my documents etc. I've tried deleting from safe mode, I've tried using KillBOX (in and out of safe mode and on reboot), I've tried unchecking "READ OnLY" and I still can't do it. This is quite a bit of space so I want to reclaim it. I'm using NTFS.
Just got my new laptop in and now I need to transfer files off my old one to the new. What is the easiest way to do that? I have several gigs that I need to move over.
I had my system running XP but it is now running Windows 7 and for the reason I backed my files up to a portable Hard Drive formatted as FAT32. Now when I try to use the Files And Settings Transfer Wizard it doesn't seem to recognize the files and says that they are not there.
I installed a driver/USB File Transfer on two computers and connected the cable into its USB ports. I am not able to transfer files from older computer to a new one.

I have some game giles i want to transfer from my laptop to my dell desktop. It is 3GB's worth, Any ideas on how to get the files there? Emailed would take too long. so i was thinking of sort of like. connecting the laptop to the dell but im not sure if thats possible.
I have two win XP laptops, and i need to transfer some files across. Is there a way to wirelessly transfer file between PCs, either with or without 3rd party software. I might have to just resort to USB, but it would be great if i could sort something that may take longer initially, but will overall save time.
This problem started up after the last format of my computer. I have the usual folders shared on my computer which consists of my shared docs, music, DOD/CS:S maps and games. During LAN parties (or any other time) nobody can get files off my computer. They are shared just fine, they can see the files, but when we try to transfer it says "Cannot copy *filename* - access is denied. make sure the disk is not full or right protected and that the file is not currently in use." The file transfer bar will go like it is transferring, but when it is done I get that message. It doesn't make sense. I have these two boxes checked under "sharing" in folder properties: "share this folder on the network" and "allow network users to change my files." All firewalls are off. This happens over 4 different routers. I have reconfigured the network many times.
The only thing I can think of that may have caused it is that I deleted the microsoft .net asp account that is installed with microsoft .net framework. would that do it? I haven't had the energy to re-install that yet. I deleted it so I wouldn't have to select an account on startup. Anyway, if you have any input I would appreciate it because this is annoying. Update: And I have just determined that I can listen so some songs on media player over the network, but I can never transfer them between computers.
I saved some old CAD drawings using DOS commands onto a USB memory stick, to be able to transfer the CAD files onto another computer running Win XP Pro SP3. The old DOS based CAD files on the USB memory stick were not recognized by Windows Explorer. When the old HD connected via USB to the Win XP computer happily allows files to be transferred. The memory stick has lots of files on it saved under Win XP and most of it not recognized on the DOS machine, but none of the directories created or files saved on the memory stick from the DOS machine are recognized by the Win XP machine.
