I purchased a refurbished Dell Optiplex GX 280 computer with XP pro installed. I am planing to transfer the entire contents of my old Dell Dimension 8200 that has XP installed.
Will that present any problems?
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.

So I was installing windows xp on a dell 4300, I was basically done when suddenly the monitor went black and said it can't display the content (dell E207WFP anyways, I tried some other old 15" dell monitor lcd, same problem. I am repairing the installation now, but I have no idea how to fix the problem if I can't see the screen. I have other computers at my disposal, but since I have no idea how far along the setup is (it is close to done, I think just setting up the accounts left).

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to extract a folder and it's contents from a Windows backup I performed several months ago. For example, I created a specific folder that for some reason no longer exists in My Documents. I have tried applications that allow me to "Undelete" what may have been sent to the Recycle Bin but these did not help. I am confident this folder and it's files are on the backup.bkf.I have also tried shareware backup applications, but they all seem to RESTORE corrupt files? Is there any application that would allow me to see what folders are on the backup.bkf? In running the Windows Backup Wizard, all I can see is a file called System State, but no option to expand the backup to see what files and folders exist.

The file transfer proceeded, however, after a couple of minutes a message appeared saying it couldn't move the folder as it was currently being used by another program. I closed notepad which was the program involved. I then went to the partition where the folder was originally kept but the folder was not present. I went to partition where I had attempted to move the folder and found the folder but it was completely empty. Somewhere on my drives is 1.3 gig of infornmation in about six files,

View 12 Replies View RelatedA while ago I posted on this group a question as to why the "C Drive" contents page opens whilst Windows Xp was booting up. The answer I was told was to do with SP2 and that a short trip round the registry would cure it. Well I did that, but the page still opened, so I thought I'd just have to live with it, but it is getting frustratingly annoying. It really slows everything down and it's the last thing to load up. Once that window opens I can then "use" the computer, as nothing will load until that opens.
View 12 Replies View RelatedWhen im running some programs, such as adobe after effects or painter or premiere or other programs, sometimes the screen flashes white, or I loose part of the display window - it becomes transparent. Contents of the menues may disappear partially. This is some kind of display problem. I know it not hardware becasue I have a dual boot of the same OS and this dosnt happen on the other partition. It sounds like a video card driver problem...but ive unistalled and re-installed the video driver and still problem persists.

GetDataBack NTFS and i see that there is right data, but how i recover it with out buy expensive license(~100EUR). Is that ISO imgage only way be cause only file straight copy is not allowed(license), BUT i dont have enough free space my other HDD to make ISO image file!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having some trouble with my hard drive. It all started when a friend wanted me to format his external hard drive, so I copied all of his data on to one of my drives and formatted his disk using a utility that came with it (he wanted it as FAT32). Anyway, I did it kind of in a hurry and it seems that I also copied the "System Volume Information" and "Recycled" folder on his disk into a folder on my disk by accident. So now every time I want to enter the folder where I put this stuff, windows says that "the disk is not formatted" and asks me if I want to format it now. Also, and more importantly, the stuff in some of my other folders has "disappeared" and is not showing up in the windows explorer. The drive is being very slow when I try to access some folders but not with others and when the computer is idle it makes a continuous "click......click.......click..........click" sound, quite slowly. When I try to copy files from certain folders, I also get an error message saying "cyclic redundancy check" (I'm not sure if that is the exact translation - my version of winows is in French). Now I'm not sure exactly what the problem is here because prior to copying this data, my disk was fine.
