Thank you so much for your post. This is exactly what i am looking for migrating Windows XP to Windows 7. Great job and everything well done. Thank you for sharing such a great resource on this migration.

Know more about migration <a href="http://ow.ly/iyCER">OS Migration</a>  

I've tried the same but in Software center showing Task Sequence  Status Downloading (0% Complete) from 2 days, pls guide on Ashishdevu@gmail.com  

IF there is a mistake during the migration, how can I restore the old version.

Does exist a rollback process ?

Hi, I use SCCM 2012 & USMT for W8 (6.2.9200.16384). Capture XP machine is OK, deploy new OS win7 x64 is OK too but when start restore then I get this code  0x8007010B and system restart without restored data. Data are on the migration store.

Does anybody an idea what is wrong?

Can we migrate XP to 7 using SCCM 2012 R2 version. It has USMT 6.3 version.
Please help me out for this issue.

Yes you can, you have to use USMT 5.0 . get it from the older WAIK

Thanks Aly, for this post.
I have seen similar posts like this one, but all fail to solve the riddle of migrating XP to win 7 and 8 with sccm 2012 R2 in a single task sequence.
I have tried all the boot images 4.0, 5.0, and 6.1 as well as the diff versions of the equivalent USMTs.
While it is true that win8.1 USMT has a bug, the others ones fail at loading the new OS stage.
With the error: "Windows PE initialization failed with error code 0x80040154"
Do you have any idea on how to work around this?
I do believe that after loading the boot image successfully(4.0 and 5.0)the system was looking for the system partition but fails to know how to proceed.
In SCCM 2012 r2, the TS on partition is not well streamlined unlike that of sccm 2007.
Its either you accept the option to “partition and format” thereby deleting the hard link for USMT restore point to proceed or leave the option out and suffer the consequences of the image not being able to boot.
I might be wrong in my analysis and perception.

I am trying to upgrade systems offline from XP to windows 7 but whenever i create the standalone image and use it, the image totally formats the system without saving user data which is what i have been trying to fix..can anyone help.
