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 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
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.
