| | Windows Easy Transfer Wizard hangs at 34% calculating size needed I am trying to use the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard to effectively back up my son's settings, documents, and music onto another hard disk on the same Vista computer.. as insurance in case we get a crash on the main harddisk. I used Easy Transfer to get our accounts on this computer in first place, so I have used it successfully many times before. So.. I log in as him. I start Easy Transfer Wizard. I select this as my "Old Computer", I chose to transfer to a disk, I chose "Only my accounts and settings", and it goes to the window showing his folders with checkmarks. It automatically starts calculating the size of the data to be transfered. It gets to 34% and hangs everytime. Disk activity goes for awhile then also stops. It can sit there for an hour. If I try to cancel it, it says "Not Responding". If I look in Taskmanager migwiz.exe is using 50% of the CPU. Finally I have to kill the migwiz.exe service in Taskmanager. Any suggestions what next steps to take? He does have 16 gig of music, but we move it all to this computer with Easy Transfer Wizard in the first place, so I know it can handle it. Anyway to "clean out" any migwiz settings or remembered values from the various kills? |
