Recently I upgraded a Windows 98 machine to Windows xp Pro.
I used the Wizard to transfer all Files and Settings. In
the past no one complained or reported any problem. Files
and Settings have transfered accordingly without a glich.
However, someone who is upset has written the message below
and I need answers.
"My computer was recently upgraded from Windows 98 to
Windows XP. In the process, a new hard disk was installed.
ITD used a Microsoft transfer program to move "everything"
from my old disk to my new.
Yesterday, I discovered that not all files had in fact been
moved. (The old hard drive has since been recycled.) I have
yet to figure out what got left behind, but the omissions
appear to have been more or less random. For example, in my
International Tax folder, Problem Sets 1 though 4 were
fine, but Problem Sets 5 through 9 had disappeared. I've
talked with ITD about the problem; my best guess is that
the Microsoft transfer program is not completely reliable.
In addition, the transfer program randomly capitalized (or
not) my folder and file names. While this may be
aesthetically unpleasing, it is not a disaster. It does,
however, suggest that the transfer program is buggy.
What happened? Is the transfer program buggy? I followed
all the steps as recommended by Microsoft. I used the
Wizard so many times in past and error tool place. Need to
hear from you guys or Microsoft.
Thank you
