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 with the following options.
"Select one or more drives to use on your new computer"
You can transfer files and settings from drives on this computer to any drive on your new computer.

C: C:
D: D:
G: C:
The C: on the old computer column is Bold but the C: on the new computer is grayed out and I can't select it. The D: on the old computer column is Bold but the D: on the new computer is grayed out and I
can't select it. The G: on the old computer, which is my external drive, is bold and the C: on the new computer lets me select it. But when I try to do the transfer, I get an error message that the D: drive on the new computer does not have enough space to transfer the files. I don't understand why it is trying to transfer the files on G: to D: when I specifically told it to transfer everything to the C: drive. Does anyone know why it is doing this and how I can get around it? Hope this isn't too confusing. Would appreciate any suggestions.
