Windows Easy transfer , ERROR message when trying to copy settings to Win 8 PC

I have a new hp-TouchSmart Envy 23. It has 2TB drive.
I want to use Windows Easy Transfer to move all my settings and data from the Windows 7 machine to the new hp-TouchSmart (my older PC is hp desktop is model # m9177c and has Win 7 OS)  .
I have used easy transfer many times and I am reasonably experienced user .
I just cannot transfer my settings and data to my new PC. I have therefore copies all my data to the hp-TouchSmart . However I need to use Windows easy transfer to move all my settings. I have a very large number of settings , macros and much else that would take a very large amount of time to re-type.
I get an ERROR message when I want to transfer my settings. It says I don’t have enough disk space. The file I want to transfer is only 10.5 GB (after I removed all my data). The new machine has 2TB and yet I keep getting this error.
I have tried every possible way of transferring the settings , including : external drive; flash drive; direct wire ; easy transfer cable etc. I keep getting the same ERR message .
I am sure Easy transfer must allow transfer from Win 7 to Win 8. BUT HOW? 
PLEASE do help. I would really appreciate very much .
THANK YOU

This thread may be useful. 
Windows Easy Transfer will transfer from one drive to the other to mirror the original drive.  What I suspect is happening is that the program is grabbing the D drive (recovery partition on most systems) and trying to transfer it to the new system which should also have a D drive.  If that is happening,t hen that error will be thrown.
Try using the advanced options and view the report to see what exactly is happening and triggering the message.
Let me know what happens. 
The document in the thread is for a previous version of Windows, but you can search for Easy Transfer Reports from the Start screen in Windows 8.

  • Error message when trying to copy a DVD with Roxio Toast v6.1.1

    I'm trying to duplicate a DVD I made via Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro by using Toast Titanium ver. 6.1.1.
    About 3/4 of the way through the record process, I keep getting the following error message:
    "Couldn't complete the last command because there was an I/O error.
    Result code = -36"
    Since I made this DVD myself, I don't believe there is any copy protection or region codes embedded.
    The DVD has 2.72 GB of material on it.
    Please advise, thanks.

    Here are some things to try: Select the DVD in the Toast Copy window and choose Save as Disc Image from the File menu. When that is complete eject the DVD and insert your blank disc, choose the saved disc image with the Image File setting in the Copy window and burn your DVD.
    Alternatively, drag the VIDEO_TS folder from the source DVD to your hard drive. Choose DVD-Rom (UDF) as the format in the Toast Data window. Click New Disc. Add your VIDEO_TS folder. Click New Folder and name it AUDIO_TS. Now burn your DVD.

  • Error Message when trying to copy a picture and save it

    Hi,
    We have just recently started having this problem. When we are trying to copy and save any pictures or screens a pop-up comes up stating one of 2 things.  One is regarding something about the remote connection or we get 'access denied'... These are not protected things we are trying to copy, it is on everything we try to copy and save. 
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Has Vista's Service Pack 2 been installed? If you don't know, run winver.exe to find out.
    Seems like it might be a firewall issue or a service may not be started. Please follow these instructions carefully.
    1. Note the exact computer-clock time of such an error.
    2. Open Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc) and expand Windows Logs.
    3. Inspect the Application and System logs for an Error event at that exact time.
    4. Do not try to manually copy anything from there. Double-click such an entry and then click the Copy button to put the details on your clipboard.
    5. Paste that information without editing into your reply here. We need only the part down to where it says..

  • Error message when trying to copy files from memory stick to MacBookPro

    Trying to copy files from my memory stick to my MacBookPro and have started to get a crazy error message - "Attempting to copy to the disk Macintosh HD failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
    I've never had a problem before today. Any help will be welcomed!

    Try this. When the stick is mounted on your desktop, right click "Get Info" and at the bottom choose "ignore ownership on this drive." See if that works.

  • Error message when trying to Copy iPhoto Library

    I am trying to backup my iPhoto Library from it's location on a WD external hard drive to another WD external hard drive. The Library is 54GB in size. When I try to copy the library, it copies about 1.1GB then I get this message: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
    I have used the Rebuild Photo Library to 1. Examine and repair iPhoto Library file permissions, and 2. Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup, and it still gives me the same message when I try to copy the Library.
    I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    There must be a damaged file or files somewhere in the remainder of the Library.
    Try Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. Set the Rebuilt Library onto the external.
    This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • ITunes displaying error message when trying to copy songs to iPod

    I've been having intermittent problems with my iTunes/iPod setup since about the time I got an iPhone 3G. The problems were with syncing or not mounting correctly.
    I'm still having the mounting issues but I'm no longer able to sync my contacts at all (I don't sync anything else). I manually add/remove tracks from the iPod, but can also no longer do this.
    I have also tried resetting the iPod and restoring through iTunes. With the restore option I receive the same 'insufficient privileges' warning and it will not restore.
    I have also recently upgraded to 10.5.7 (and repaired permissions before and after).
    I'm fairly sure it's the iTunes setup on my current machine as when I use the iPod on my iMac I can easily add/remove items.
    I'm tempting to use the restore function from the iMac but am skeptical it will work because the only thing new introduced to the MacBook is the iPhone. The iPhone syncs bookmarks, contacts, some photos, applications and that's it.
    Anyone have some theories? I've read some places about the iPhoto cache being a problem but I deleted it and I'm still having the above issues. Boo.
    Thanks.

    Can someone please Help?

    I found htis other post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3401328?start=0&tstart=0
    I also found this in another post
    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

  • I receive the following error message when trying to install QuickTime for Windows "Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."

    I recieve the following error message when trying to install Quicktime for Windows "Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."  I just trying to get the latest version of iTunes.  Thanks

    "Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
