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
 
Re: XP "Transfer my files and settings wizard"

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.
