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, the wizard can be
launched from the Windows XP operating system CD or from a floppy disk created on the
Windows XP computer. You can transfer the data to the new computer over a network or
serial connection, or you can store it on a removable medium, such as a floppy disk, a Zip
disk, or a writable CD.
