Migrating to a new system

[Guest Planner]

I have decided to upgrade significantly to a new system. In the

process I am replacing the HD from IDE to SATA and also new MB etc.

 

What I need is a guide on what and where (to find) the necessary files

that i need to keep. Obvoiusly "My documents" is the first candidate,

but its things like outlook, internet (Firefox) favourites + passwords

etc.

 

Anyone found a decent site that helps the user through the migration

 

Thanks (in advance)

Use the XP Files and Settings Transfer wizard to select the files and

settings you want to save and save them to intermediate storage. After

reinstallation install your apps and then restore the files and settings

using FAST a second time. What you save is up to you. If something is

useful to you, save it.
