Transferring PIM data from older palmtop PCs
If you have an older palmtop PC, you can transfer personal information manager (PIM) data (contacts, calendar, and task data) to your HP Jornada, saving you the task of reentering 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 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 PC that uses an older version of Windows CE, you must first back up the data to your desktop PC 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.
