data migration

I just went through the export from Windows XP using the Windows 7 easy transfer program. After scanning the XP system it displays the components and allows you to accept or decline the transfer. I don't see email anywhere on the lists. Email is the primary thing I want to transfer. I use...

I have posted this question in two different CNET forums - "E-mail, chat, & VoIP" and "Windows 7" - but have received no response to either. Thought I might have more success here. I am currently using Windows Mail on Vista Home Premium. I've seen numerous reports that Windows Mail will not be...

Currently running Win XP using Outlook Express, will install Windows 7 on new partition, how do I move all my personal folders from OE to Windows Live mail ??

You had good reason to stick with XP and skip the Vista experience entirely. But now that the folks at Microsoft have created a new operating system that's worth moving to, they haven't made the upgrade easy, because you have to perform a clean install of the OS. Here are the issues you need to...

I installed Win7 on my computer by installing on a 'new' hard drive, after removing the drive that housed XP. Is there a simple way to transer certain program files and settings to W7 without buying a specialty program? I didn't know about the "Windows Easy Transfer" before I installed W7, so...

My new PC is 64 bit my older ones have been 32 bit. I had one program I really wanted that I couldn't install. I suspected just a 16 bit installer but the maker of software no longer in business. Tonight it finally dawned on me to try Easy transfer and it worked! Homer Simpson finally figured...

Can anyone help....? I have tried moving the default locations of the Vista special folders now a few times by using the move location route. All seems to go well until at some point, something goes wrong or I do something wrong and I find a whole host of files being copied over when I know...

trying to copy a wmv file from a cd rom to my hard drive in windows 7 and seeing that stupid "calculating:mad:" message that goes for 200 years with no actual copying being done. What is this and how do i fix it? I used to see this crap in vista too.

I posted this with no results in another w7 forum. Perhaps I'll have better luck here. I have a small C: drive with too much stuff on it, and a new 250GB i: drive that is nearly empty. How can i interchange these two drives so the big one is c: and the little one is i:? I will rebuild w7 rc...

After installing Win 7 on this computer I decided to use the Easy Transfer system (using migwiz file) to copy documents and settings across from another computer that uses Vista. The transfer occurred OK and then required a restart on finishing. From that point onwards there was no way I...

I just spent 18 and a half hours running Vista Easy Transfer on my old XP computer. I sent the files to an external hard drive. There were files on Drive C: & Drive D:, with the majority of them being on D:. When I tried to transfer them to the new Vista computer, it brought me to a window...

Hi all, My first post. I have not been able to find a previous thread about this, there may be a reason for that, but here goes. I currently have XP installed, but want to finally install my Vista Home Preimum upgrade that I got a little over a year ago. I don't want to loose the XP in case...
