I am confused. The information I read said you had to use a usb drive. I have
my other files on a internal drive as well as a usb drive. Lets call the usb
"E" and the other internal drive "D". How do I go about using the "easy
transfer while in Vista. I also have been running xp64 for the last year and
a half and had no idea untill I tried to insatll it on the 30th that it
wouldn't work. I have my system at this time cut down to three drives to make
the transfer easier.
