Vista - Selecting Correct Destination in Windows Easy Transfer

09-26-2007

I've not seen the problem I have in other posts, but HOW do I get Windows
Easy Transfer to actually Transfer my Files & Folders from an XP machine
{from a Slave Hard Drive due to motherboard failure on my own XP machine} to
the main "C" Drive?

It keeps trying to transfer to my "Recovery Disk" {HP Machine}, where there
is not enough capacity.

Do I have to go to the process of actually transferring all it will hold,
then copying to the "C" Drive and deleting them from the "D" drive? If so,
this is ridiculous, because it requires starting and stopping the transfer
for an innumerable amount of time.

This Link is just a repeat of the WET pages, and offers NO solutions for
choosing a destination point. It evidently chooses it's own.
