Microsoft Windows XP

The Microsoft

Windows XP operating system provides the Files and Settings

Transfer Wizard to move data from a source computer to a new computer.

You can transfer data, such as:

• E-mail messages

• Toolbar settings

• Window sizes

• Internet bookmarks

You can transfer the data to the new computer over a network or serial

connection, or you can store it on removable media, such as a writable CD,

for transfer to the new computer.

NOTE: You can transfer information from an old computer to a new computer by

directly connecting a serial cable to the input/output (I/O) ports of the two

computers. To transfer data over a serial connection, you must access the Network

Connections utility from the Control Panel and perform additional configuration

steps, such as setting up an advanced connection and designating the host

computer and the guest computer.

For instructions on setting up a direct cable connection between two computers,

see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article #305621, titled How to Set Up a Direct Cable

Connection Between Two Computers in Windows XP. This information may not be

available in certain countries.

For transferring information to a new computer, you must run the Files and

Settings Transfer Wizard. You can use the optional Operating System disc for

this process or you can create a wizard disk with the Files and Settings

Transfer Wizard.
