5.0 out of 5 stars worked brilliantly, April 4, 2009

I left all my old photos, videos, and some files on an old, nearly dead desktop. I moved some over with a memory stick (what a pain), but planned to get more off later. Well, six months passed and I finally decided to do it. I had this shipped overnight. I did the software thing on both computers and I picked the files and settings I wanted and within a half an hour my new computer had ALL the files. It even pulled the mp3 files which I bought on the old system but the new system wouldnt pick up (the media rights thing). I was thrilled. Now I have my music collection complete, all my videos saved, and all the files I need. It worked so easy and so clean.

2.0 out of 5 stars WQill not work between XP an XP computers, June 6, 2009

Although it doesn't say it will, it also doesn't explicitly say that it won't work as a transfer cable between two XP machines. For most software and options XP and Vista are interchangeable and if it says it can transfer between XP and Vista, I think it is logical to assume that between two XP machines would also be possible.. Having bought this item, I then find on the documentation, that NO it will only work between XP and vista.

I just think it should have been written as an explicit point in the description. Even better.. publish the documentation as part of the product description.

I have now found two cables that should work between two XP machines. The Tornado and Targus ACC96US High-Speed File Transfer Cable. I am waiting on the Targus.

this cable saved me untold hours of time transferring selected files from my XP desktop to a new Vista laptop. the process was fairly fast and virtually goof-proof. a great innovation!
