  From what I have read - there is no way to migrate directly from Win
XP to Win7 - you have to go through Vista first. There is the
possibility that since I made my efforts - new software is available
that will do the job - but so far I have not seen it. Norton Ghost would
be my first best bet, if it's possible.

Yo might check out Acronis, and see what they offer. In the past, you
could download a free 15 day trial copy of Acronis and get the migration
done within the trial period, then just let it expire.  It worked for me
to move Win XP. to a new hard drive. Perhaps the new version can migrate
Win XP files to Win7. But I doubt it. Win7 is several iterations beyond
WinXP.
