Started reading your post and thought it was mine, but then remembered I
didn't write one! But had I it would have been your words. Brand new Intel
computer .. brandnew Windows XP (can NOT stand it!) and my old wonderful
Windows SE computer right here next to the new big one. Direct cable
connection between the two and it took me forever to find the passover
between the two but now I have it easy. I have it easy .. but to explain it
would be another matter. What I am adding onto your problem .. is ... my
problem. Because I have Office 2000 and many others over there that I would
like over here on this new one and yes I went about doing the file transfer
exe ... but I had to designate small network as opposed to direct cable ... I
guess maybe because my direct cable (to me it looks like a cable directly
between the two but I guess perhaps it was not via serial port) and finally
the new machine found the old one and started copying the files I wanted ...
and did a finished job and then I was supposed to go back to the New one
after being in the old one, and voila click and transfer. Well excuse me ..
but I have been searching ever since for this easy recorded list of files I
want transferred ... and I can not find it. At first I thought it would have
to be on the old system ... but now I am wondering if it is this huge thing
left on the new system. I am sorry I am adding to your problem .. but
whomever might help you ... I would love to have help me too. The directory
name of this thing that I think is the data that was made when I initially
asked to transfer "these" files ... is on the root drive of my new system and
it is titled USMT2.UNC
I don't know why. When I click it open ... it has a file named IMG00001.DAT
that is 104,098 KBs big and also a file named status with no file ending to
it. I tried reading that one with notepad and it was in that other language
that I don't understand. I started to designate the DAT file as the file to
go to while running the 2nd half of the transfer wizard .. and it looked like
it was about to start going with it. I stopped because I didn't want a huge
amount of wrong files transferred to my new system and since I got lost as to
where the data was going to be stored .. I thought that might be a potential
thing to happen. Anyway ... does anyone know where the file would be stored
that would have the data on it - Wouldn't it by nature be on the old system.
The File Transfer system does not have much of a help file telling you these
things but I can look for it in Windows Tech I guess.
