XP "Transfer my files and settings wizard"

[Guest RJK]

Is there any way to run it, so that it only gathers up stuff from the "old"

PC's boot drive ...i.e. drive C:\

 

....the last time I used it, it trawled its' way through all the hard disks

it could find in the machine e.g. D:\ and E:\

....I've got a massive directory structure on drive E:\ with almost my whole

life in it ! - which does not need to be crawled through by XP's "Transfer

my files and settings" wizard.

 

So is there any way, bar disconnecting all other hd's, to run the wizard so

that it will ignore other hard disks in the same machine as the boot-drive ?

 

TIA

 

regards, Richard

There is a way, you have to Select a method for transfer; (Local drive,

device or network drive), then next... and on the next screen select what to

transfer, then check on "I wish to select a customized list of files and

settings...... etc. click next and Select the settings and file types

manually and from the locations you specify. Read the articles for more

complete information.
