i was wondering if its because one is on xp and the other on vista it did not download the information I hope i have explained

The easiest way, as far as I can see, is to put your files onto a second drive.

A USB flash drive is cheap and useful.

There's a transfer files and settings wizard in XP, which I presume is what you used?

You need to find the same thing in Vista. It has limited use though and if you're thinking it can be used to install programs - the answer is, it can't do that, you'll have to install the program from scratch

Just an idea and probably not what you want but I have used my digital camera to quickly transfer files/photos/docs from my Win98 laptop to the Vista one. Obviously dependant on the capacity of the camera memory.
You could also email the info to yourself.

You could try backing up your information on here :- www.adrive.com/ . It has free 50 gigabyte storage.
