I have tried multiple times to complete an Easy Transfer from an XP/SP2 PC
(with the latest updates) to Vista. I have a properly functioning new
internal Lite-On burner that works perfectly fine within XP.

Here's what I do:
1) With XP running, I insert the Vista DVD and choose the transfer files
option.

2) I choose the things I want to transfer and the medium (CD/DVD).

3) The program starts and appears to be working, even to the point of saying
that's it's copying the files. But, the DVD burner light never comes on, and
eventually there's an error message to the effect that the "API (IMAPI)" has
failed.

I've checked the newsgroups KB for a solution but don't see one. Can anyone
offer assistance?
