Belkin Easy Transfer Cable for Windows Vista only? or will it do XP to XP as well? will this cable transfer files from an XP pc to another XP pc?

NO. What happens is you put your new XP machine in there and re-run the WET wizard only to see that there is no "Continue an existing transfer" option the wizard. Better stick with File and Settings Transfer or USMT or do it manually.

The package indicates it will transfer data from Windows XP or Vista. I had XP. It worked great for XP. Good luck!

Yes, plug and play. I've used it on Windows Vista, 7, and 8. All different computers and it works flawlessly transferring files between them. Windows may install drivers and there is a program on the drive which I don't recommend using (just a waste of time if you ask me).

Yes it works fine. I have it on all my computers which have Vista. "Upgrade to XP"... Thats pretty funny!

Yes. As long as your system has a PCI port it will work fine with all versions of XP.

Yes! You can select certain folders or files to transfer. In addition to compatibility with Microsoft's built-in Windows Easy Transfer software (recommended for first-time users), this cable also includes a full license to Bravura's Easy Computer Sync application (free: a $19.95 value), which adds drag and drop and other additional features for advanced users. Choose either one, making the same choice on both computers in order to successfully connect. You can download the Bravura package at www.bravurasoftware.com/easy-computer-sync. This download also includes and installs the latest versions of Microsoft's drivers (required on XP and Vista). Your Bravura Easy Computer Sync product key is provided upon purchase; enter this key when requested by Bravura's software. The product key is uniquely matched to your Amazon order number, and is licensed for use with your cable on multiple machines. How it works: You open the program and go through the steps just as you would in the sync (or automatic) transfer process, but it gives you the option to select drag and drop instead of sync. On the computer you decide to do the transfer on, it opens up a windows-like window with both computers on one split page, wherein you select folders and then drag-n-drop like normal. You can also search online videos for "Easy Computer Sync" to watch the process.

No, from what I've heard it only works with XP. There are other usb connectors that will work with vista and 7 and macs, like the one from Planex.

I will say it did for me on two separate computers running XP but I cannot guarantee it will do it with yours. You can return it either way.

Joshua, I believe this PCI 300 Mbps will work for Windows XP, the drivers are on the disc.

I used this cable to transfer Windows xp to windows 7. It comes with all the instructions to guide you through the transfer and it is onscreen as well. It was very easy and self explanatory.

Its suppose to work with Win XP according to the manufacture, I upgraded to Win 7. I use it to download from my Sony Handycam DCR-HC40 DVR and no problems.

I have not used this in an XP system but it should work fine as it's a basic optical disc. No special drivers needed. Just plug and play.

Yes, it will work with one monitor if XP is your OS. With Win-7 I believe you have to click something on each PC. Although, because I thought I would also have to click something, I just kept moving the monitor from one to the other without a hitch. (so should work for any OS with this method) I never needed to click anything on my old pc, but on my new one I had to go to "my computer" and click on "easysuite" drive. No instruction of any kind popped up, but wasn't needed. Once you've connected the cable, you just drag what you want to your new pc. (you only need one active monitor to do this - on the new pc) If you want to go faster you can copy and paste your desktop or your documents right to the new pc. (can't drag desktop or my documents) I transferred photos, movies, etc. , didn't work on any programs such as word, but you can just re-install these. One thing to remember, depending how you connect cable, your new pc may be "local host" or "remote host", (could be either, my new one was contrary to instructions) although it's easy enough to figure out by your contents. I moved files alphabetically to keep track as I went. (many files) This worked great for me xp to xp. Just bring a magnifying glass if you need to read the instructions. Hope this helps

I have one and it worked fine on my old XP machine, but my new Dell has Vista and so far I can't get it to work, even afer downloading the drivers that sandisk said would fix the problem. Vista keeps seeing it as a 14 in 1 drive and refuses to except any input from it. I just gave it to a friend who's still running (and I wish I was) XP and replaced it with one by Belkin.

I recently used the Tornado to transfer files from Win 7 to Win 8 and vice versa with excellent results. I had previous excellent results using the Tornado to transfer filess from Win XP to Win 7 land vice versa. I have NOT used the Tornado to transfer files from Win XP to Win 8 or vice versa though am of the opinion that the Tornado will do what you want to do. Naturally I'm only giving an opinion and would purchase the product anyway. I can't recall though I believe I may have used the Tornado long ago to transfer files from Win 95 to Win XP and worked fine. No guarantee... I would purchase the Tornado to do what you want to do and believe it will work. Good luck. Robert.

I am using netgear on my desktop which has Vista installed and it works great. I had tried a linkys product and it did not work. From what I have read the netgear should work fine with windows xp
