need to transfer files from windows2000 to xp?

If both machines have USB ports, transferring files with a jump drive is probably the best method. Jump drives are available for 20 bucks or less and are very useful.

If you feed the XP disk in while you have your Windows 2000 opened, it will ask you or have an option for you to choose upgrade.\nThen follow the prompt and questions to continue.

If you use XP system restore is the way to go.

If you chose to keep your old Windows installation and the FAT32 file system, you should be able to uninstall Windows XP. Please see "Sources".\n\nIn case you do not have an option to uninstall Windows, back-up all your important files onto CDR/CDRW/DVDR/'another hard disk'/'other forms of memory', (create a boot floppy as described in next paragraph,) format your hard disk, and install the version of Windows you want.\n\nWindows XP's CD is always bootable, so you won't require a boot floppy. I assume it must be the same for 2000, but for 9x, most probably you will need a boot floppy. After you finish backing up, insert a blank floppy and (from within XP) format it as a start-up disk. To format,\n-Open My Computer (in your new XP Start menu).\n-Right-click the floppy drive icon.\n-Select "Format".\n-Put a tick mark in the check box named "Create an MS-DOS startup disk".\n-Click "Start" button (the one in the Format dialog box)\nOnly then should you format your hard disk.\n\nI'm not sure of FAT32 taking up more space, but if you use NT/2000/XP, then it is highly recommended that you try your best in sticking to NTFS. Check out the Sources for some information regarding the two file systems.\n_______\nViva La Dvorak! - www.dvzine.org

I would highly recommend CasperXP. It's saved me a few times now and makes a complete bootable clone of the disk. The best thing is that it can backup whilst you are still using XP and has smart clone technology so that on subsequent backups it will only backup changed sectors of the hard disk reducing backup time considerably. It will work with external USB hard disks.

Windows XP comes with a backup utility but it isn't installed by default.  See the article below for a verbose explanation on how to access and use this program.

If you upgrade with files in the recycling bin then they will be over written.\n\nTake them out of the trash and move them to the root (C:/ ) directory. Install XP over top of 98SE. But make sure you DON'T choose the option to format your C: Drive and they will still be there.\n\nOnly problem I see is if your old computer had 98 on it then it's prolly too old to run XP. Look for something a lil newer.

Hi,\n\nHere is a step by step guide that will help you out with installing windows Xp.

Yes, it is possible. There are software out there that will "clone" your harddrive, including the OS and applications and data. Even when drive capacities don't match software can compansate for it (e.g., you can transfer to a larger drive without problems). I have used one such software (click on the source link below), but I encourage you to look at other software as well.\n\nKeep in mind you may trigger Windows XPs built-in validation check by changing hardware. However, this is not a problem, even in the worst case scenario you may simply go to a web site or make a phone call to re-validate Windows XP.

Your HD is to small, If your Total HD is 2GB, It take 2GB of Total Partition  to put XP on the Disk.\nHarry

I don't know if this will apply exactly to your setup, but on a Windows machine (98, NT, 2000, I haven't verified that this carried over to XP)...\n\n1) Create the folder that you want to turn into a "drive" -- for this example let's call it "c:&#92;drive_z"\n\n2) Start Menu -> Run\n\nType...\n\ncmd <enter>\n\n3) Type the following line...\n\nsubst z: c:&#92;drive_z <enter>\n\nYou now have a drive letter Z whose root directory is the contents of c:&#92;drive_z \n\nIt will remain until you reboot your machine, or until you type\n\nsubst z: /d <enter>

The software that will clean your hard drive is supplied with the O/S. Depending upon which you use. In the BIOS set your system to boot from the CD first, then the floppy drive second and last the Hard drive. Put your bonified copy of XP/2000 in the CD tray and just reboot. It will guide you through the set up procedure, select a clean install, or fresh install and about an hour later you will be set. Just pay attention to what the screen is asking of you and always go NTFS file system. On some XP/2000 versions you need to go to the makeboot or tools directory and make your boot disk for a fresh install or you could get it from Microsoft. If you are still running something a little older, say Win98, remember that start up disk you made, well it has the program Fdisk on it, just run it from floppy on a reboot and select fdisk, after that, format C: /s /v I always made a directory called win98 and copied the contents to that directory and setup from there. Windows Mill, the same way. So here ya go all provided by the source of your own operating system. Good Luck If you have any questions you can contact me through Yahoo Answers!

The sysprep tool (from my win2000 knowledge), is run on a fully installed windows system, to strip it of all identifying information, and the hard drive can then be cloned for use in different machines. \n\nWhen the cloned drive is placed in the target machine, and booted, it would perform a mini setup and ask for your name company etc, and then within a few minutes, windows would be ready for use on the new machine.\n\nThe installation procedure for unattended install, I cannot remember, but I know you have to create a special disk of some kind and make an unattend.bat file or something, though that was win2000, not sure about XP. You could read through the winxp documentation that comes with the CD it might be of help.

Transferring files from one computer to another is no big deal, you just need to buy either a short crossover cable and directly connect your two computers or buy an extra patch cable with which to connect your laptop to your hub/switch/router at home. Then all you have to do is right click on the folder containing the files/folders that you want to share and select properties (for windows xp/2000) and under sharing and security select the option to share it over the network. Then all you have to do is open internet explorer and type &#92;&#92;<computer_name> where <computer_name> is the name of your computer (e.g. radicalhomepc).\n\nMoving programs over is not so easy. You can either try copying the corresponding folders in the Program Files directory and try to grab all the corresponding registry files and import them to your desktop's registry, or you can buy a program (probably ~50-60 dollars) that will copy your programs with varying degrees of success between computers. Probably the cheapest solution would be to install the programs anew on your computer and just import the files you want through what I covered on sharing files.
