Transferring PIM data from older palmtop PCs
and handheld PCs
If you have an older palmtop PC or handheld PC, you can
transfer personal information manager (PIM) data (Con-
tacts, Calendar, and Tasks data) to your HP Jornada,
saving you the task of re-entering entire lists of contacts or
tasks. You can also copy all files, folders, and programs you
have added from an older model Windows CE device to your
HP Jornada.
The transfer process you follow and the type of data that can
be migrated depends on the make and model of the palmtop
or handheld PC, and whether it uses Windows CE Services
to connect to your desktop PC.
Migrating data from older Windows CE palmtop PCs
If your data is stored on a palmtop or handheld PC that uses
an older version of Windows CE, you must first back up the
data to your desktop PC by using the version of Windows CE
Services or H/PC Explorer that came with the device. Then,
upgrade to Windows CE Services 2.2 on your desktop PC,
and restore the data to your HP Jornada. Use the following
procedure to migrate files, appointments, and other personal
data stored on your old palmtop PC.
The following procedure will replace all files, programs, and Pocket Outlook data you have
added to your HP Jornada with the information stored on the palmtop PC.
