Posted October 15, 200717 yr Hi, I just set up a new computer - C drive is shared and visible to my old computer. Both run XP SP2 w/ all the updates. --On my old computer the FT Wizard seems to run fine and asks me where to tranfer all the files. It selects a slew of applications and file types it wants to transfer. I can choose the C: drive of the new computer over my network and even create new folders on the new computer. --On my new computer the FT Wizard won't get past wanting me to make a CD for the Wizard to install on the old computer. FT Wizard is already installed on the old computer, yet the new computer gives me no option to search for files to transfer the way my old computer does. Questions: 1) Is this telling me that I actually have to copy all the files on my old computer from their current locations into another place, e.g. create another directory on my old computer and copy them from there to my new computer? What if I don't have space for that? 2) The old computer's FT Wizard is only transferring my account information. What about the other user account? Do I have to log in as the other user and repeat all of this? 3) If so, how do I differentiate common files (e.g. photos) from user-specific config files (e.g. Internet Explorer favorites)? Thanks, Robert
