Nice to hear that it worked but I wonder why you didn't just install
SM2, let the profile be migrated to a new SM2-profile and copy that new

Sounded a bit complicated your way but if it works... ;-)

The problem with the approach that you suggest (and which is the default
for SM2 installation) is that all of the files associated with the old
SM1 profiles are copied to the default location on the C: partition. SM2
gives you no choice as to where the new profiles are located. In my
case, it was close to 6GB of data stored on the D: partition in 8 profiles.
Since I didn't realize that the profile folders were being copied to the
C: partition when I first installed SM 2 (beta), I crashed the system
because there was only 4GB available on the C: partition. Because of the
crash, I ended up re-installing Windows XP and then restoring from a
backup of the C: partition. It took me two weeks to finally get it going.
The OP's method bypasses transferring all of the data from D: to C: and
then back to D:. I wish I had followed that approach the first time
around. Better yet, I wish SM2 gave the user an option of where to
install the profiles and not automatically put it on the C: partition.
