Transferring Information to a New

Computer

Windows XP provides a Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to move data
such as e-mails, window sizes, toolbar settings, and Internet bookmarks,
from one computer to another. First you collect the data from the source
computer, and then you import the data to the new computer.

If the source computer uses another Windows operating system, you can
launch the wizard from the Windows XP Operating System CD or from a
floppy disk created on a computer that is running Windows XP. You can
transfer the data to the new computer over a network or you can store it on
a removable medium, such as a floppy disk or a writable CD.
