Alternately, just copy your data to a CD/DVD-R, external hard drive, or USB thumb drive with enough capacity and then transfer that saved data to the new machine.

| Vista Basic x86 | Re: Easy Transfer download fails install W2K Yes, SUPPOSED, but when you go to the download page it now only references XP and when you install it the install fails at then ends saying it is the the correct version. I have Windows 2000 SP4 as suggested in the some of the descriptions - but NOT the download page. I do not have the cable. My machines are on a common network. CD/DVD/External Disk are not the issue. If the software does not install on the system it really does not make a difference how I move the data. Bill. |

The earlier version did support the transfer of files only (not settings) and never supported the use of the special cable. So if really a bit of a waste of time. You might as well just transfer the files between the machines using your network. -- Mike Brannigan |

Your solution about transfering the files across the network is the best one. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ |
