One of the biggest problems that most people have in
setting up a new computer is transferring their files and
settings from the old computer to the new computer.
Unless your old and new computers are networked together,
the easiest way to transfer files and settings is with a
USB flash drive (Portable memory stick) using the Windows
Files and Settings Transfer Wizard.
On your new Windows XP computer, click on Start, Programs,
Accessories, System Tools, then on Files and Settings
Transfer Wizard, follow the steps to create a wizard disk
(Do not close the files and settings transfer wizard).
Note: If one of the computers does not have a floppy drive
you can create the wizard disk on the flash drive.
Plug in the flash drive and insert the wizard disk into
your old computer. Run the files and settings transfer
wizard and follow the steps to copy your files and
settings to the flash drive. Before removing the flash
drive, double click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon in
your system tray (Bottom right hand side) then click on
Stop then click on OK. Remove the flash drive and the
wizard disk.
Go to your new computer and plug in the flash drive then
click on next on the files and settings transfer wizard
and follow the steps to copy your files and settings to
your new computer. After the files and settings transfer
wizard has completed transferring your files and settings,
click on Finished to close the wizard and safety remove
the flash drive then restart your computer.
