2. If you are migrating the My Documents folder from a computer that has
multiple users and you will want to use the same user names on the new
computer, you should create the user names on the new computer before
beginning the migration. Creating the user name on the new computer
before the migration will cause the My Documents folder for that user to be
created before the migration. Then when the data files from the My
Documents folder for that user on the old machine are migrated, they will
be placed properly in the My Documents folder on the new machine.
Creating a user name on the new machine after migrating the My
Documents folder for that user from the previous machine may change the
location of the files in My Documents. You will be creating a My
Documents folder for that user during the migration as well as when
setting up the new user name.
Follow these instructions to perform the data migration:
Note: You might need the original diskettes or CD that came with your
operating system.
1. If your new computer is running Windows 2000, log on to your new
computer with a user name that is part of the Administrators group.
Note: For information on logging on to Windows and checking whether a
user name is part of the Administrators group, see Appendix A,
“Troubleshooting, hints, and tips” on page A-1
2. Insert the IBM Data Migration User’s Guide and Software CD into the
CD-ROM or DVD drive in your new computer.
