Easy Transfer Cable - Vista To Vista

Hi,
I have a belkin easy transfer cable and was wondering if I can use it
to transfer files from one vista machine to another. I don't really it
to migrate user settings, programs, documents etc. Basically I just
want some very large files moved from machine to another (In the
fastest way possible). I was wondering if there was someway I can plug
in the cable in both computers and see the other computer as an
External hard drive or a network machine etc. so I can just drag-and-
drop my files from one machine to the other.

Any help would be much appreciated.

The cable is only half the battle, software is also necessary to make this
sort of connection. If the cable came with none, then you cannot.

Hi,

IMO, this is the best little gadget I've ever bought and used.

Errrmm... that doesn't seem to mention the Belkin easy transfer USB to
USB cable anywhere. I am looking for a direct connection between two
computer's solution. For situations when the LAN is not available or
too slow.

COOL !! I wish I had bought this. I remember searching for something
like that a while ago but don't remember finding one. Everything on
Microsoft seemed to recommend the belkin cable as the USB transfer
solution for vista. Now that i bought it for $100, i am hoping it does
a proper file transfers, rather than just an XP to Vista migration
(even if i have to install custom software on my vista machines)

That's a good one, but the one I use is the Crossbox:

Several different companies badge and sell this as "their" brand.

Hi Ya Richard,

Thanks for the link, I'll book mark this and give my customers two choices
now. It's the same price I paid for the Tornado plus I got a copy of PC
Eraser free, but probably will never use it unless my wife goes to snooping
:>)

Happy Thanksgiving

All the best my friend,
SG
