    After many trials I have found some solution I wish it works for you. First you have to upgrade from Windows XP 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit. file. If you are getting the same error and you are unable to open file. Then for resolve this, you need to open the transfer Wizard, and then run through your files, with use of advanced options. It could be a boring attempt, but it should useful for you as it did for me. Now you can try a little more with the sizes, but I just staying with 2 GB and was okay.

    As per my knowledge you can definitely do this but for that you will require a USB port on each computer and Easy Transfer Cable. The Easy Transfer Cable is a particularly intended USB cable that connects two computers and run with Windows Easy Transfer to transport data between the two computers. It's one of the simplest ways to transfer files and settings to your second computer. You be supposed to always start Windows Easy Transfer on your latest computer and plug in the Easy Transfer cable only when you are order to do so. Earlier than you plug in the cable on your previous computer, be confident to insert the disk that came with it to install the Windows Easy Transfer application and carry on the transfer process.
