Good preparation is the Key,
By "crzjo" (NY, NY, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: AlohaBob PC Relocator Ultra Control 2004 (CD-ROM)
I have a Win 98 laptop with minor keyboard probelms. Since it might get worse with the time being and I want to upgrade to a WinXP PC, I went out to get a new desktop. At the store I was told to get Alohabob PC Relocator Ultra Control(Later I found out---Funny name yet does serious job). I installed the program and used a USB cable. It did not seem to connect with the new PC at first.I was wondering why, becasue the set up was kind of straight forward. Later I found out that I did not get the lastest version of PC Relocator Ultra. So I downloaded the latest version on my old laptop and burn it on a CD. Get the update on the target as well. I learn new things everyday: ALWAYS get latest updates on softwares. And the tech guys there were kind enough to walk me through the connection process. I was told that preparation is the key to success migrations. So I stop what I was doing, came up a clear list of the things I want to transfer. With the suggestions from tech support, I filter out things that I should install manaully myself, things such as drivers and freewares. Then I went back to finished up the migration. Guess what, it worked beautifully. My email was transfer over and some applications that I no longer have the CDs. I was totally amazed on the result.

NOT WORTH THE MONEY,
By A Customer
This review is from: AlohaBob PC Relocator Ultra Control 2004 (CD-ROM)
After two or three unsuccessful tries to get this program to load properly, I gave it one more try. It finally loaded, then it would not recognize the USB connection. Gave some kind of communication error with the cable. One more try, and I was finally able to communicate. Went thru the process of picking the files to be transferred and the program came back with a description of which files will transfer and which ones would not.To my surprise, of the 27 programs I wanted to transfer, only 1 was give a "High" probability, 2 were given "Medium" probability, 4 were given "Low" probability, and 20 were given "Will not transfer". What a rip-off. Don't waste your money on this junk. If you are upgrading your system to Windows XP, it has it's own file transfer feature built-in. Just go to Start, Program, Accessories, Tools and pick the File Transfer Function. gac

Good relocation experience (Win2K Pro -> WinXP Pro),
By Joe Morrison (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: AlohaBob PC Relocator Ultra Control 2004 (CD-ROM)
Seems like people are really polarized around this software. For me it worked really well. Before buying it, I contacted Eisenworld tech support and asked them about various applications that I cared about (particularly Adobe Illustrator and VMWare). They responded within a day, and told me Illustrator would work, and they weren't certain about VMWare.I bought the PC Relocator Ultra Control version of the product, and migrated my apps and data from my Windows 2000 Pro laptop (running a seriously damaged version of Windows - due to viruses and four years of bitrot) to a new Dell machine runnning XP Pro. I selected the option to transfer everything via TCP/IP over my home network. Apart from an odd error message at one point (it looked like Aloha Bob was trying to read one of its own documentation files from my source machine and failing to find it), the transfer went smoothly. I successfully transferred MS Office, Adobe Illustrator, Quicken, and several other applications that I use heavily. Sure enough, VMWare did not transfer properly (if anyone has a successful experience transferring VMWare from one machine to another please let me know). But I can't really fault Eisenworld for that. Their application delivered what they promised it would, and by spending $70 I rescued several hundred dollars worth of software. So I'm pretty happy. I'd recommend this software. If anyone else has a bad experience and wants to write a review, please mention which method you used to transfer the data. Maybe TCP/IP is the only reliable one.
