Start, programs, accessories, system tools, files and settings transfer wizard.
Choose the option that it's the old computer, but then on the transfer method dialogue select the other option, which will allow you to supply a path on your external drive where it'll place a folder called USMT2.UNC. Then, when you run the wizard on your new computer, you can tell it it's the new one, and tell it where to look for that folder, and there you go. There are some other options like either files or settings, or both, and whether or not you want to try modify the listing it generates, but, initially, I'd just go for the both files and settings, since this will sort of include things like my documents, email messages, desktop layout, graphical options settings, etc. etc. HTH Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...Fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' ----- Original Message ----- From: "sue morgan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2008 6:31 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] Transferring data from one laptop to another. > Hi. > > I'm replacing my laptop and I know that there's a backup utility in system > tools which allows you to transfer everything from your old computer to a > new one.
