Restore Computer with File and Settings Transfer Wizard XP - Part 2
Transferring Files and Settings to a New Computer
As detailed in the first part of this guide, your files and settings were previously saved onto a network drive. This section will demonstrate the process of moving those saved items to your new computer.
To ensure compatibility, verify that you are utilizing the identical version of migwiz.exe. Insert your Windows XP installation disc; it should automatically initiate. From the options presented, select "Perform additional tasks."
Initiating the Transfer Wizard
Following this, choose the "Transfer files and settings" option to begin the restoration process.
The Files and Settings Transfer Wizard (FAST) will then be launched. Proceed by clicking "Next" to continue.
Maintain the default selection of "New Computer" to indicate the destination for your data. Then, click "Next" to advance.
Specifying the Image Location
Given that the FAST image was previously uploaded to the network, select the option "I don't need the Wizard Disk..." and then click "Next."
Direct the FAST Wizard to the network location or removable media containing your USMT2.UNC image. Confirm your selection by clicking "Next."
The transfer of your files and settings to the new computer will now commence. Once the process is complete, click "Next."
Finalizing the Transfer
Occasionally, certain files may not transfer successfully using FAST. In such instances, manual transfer of one or two files may be necessary, as illustrated in the image. All other selected items should have transferred correctly. Proceed by clicking "Finish."
A prompt will appear requesting a system reboot. After restarting, the restoration process will be fully completed.
