Greetings!
I am about to do a clean reinstall of my Retail version of XP Home and have a couple of queries on using the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. My PC has 2 hard drives. Hard Drive one has 2 partitions: C (System and progs) and D (My Documents etc). Hard Drive 2 is used for Backing up etc. Following original install of XP, the "My Documents" folder was relocated to the "D" partition using TweakUI XP. My queries are: 1) Will the FASTW automatically find the "My Documents" folder on the D partition, or do I need to select it manually? 2) There are 2 user accounts (mine is set up as administrator). When I run the FASTW from within my logon will it automatically collect the other users settings, or will I have to run the wizard from within each logon to collect that individuals settings? I aim to save the collected files and settings on Hard Disc 2, reformat Partition C on Hard Drive 1, reinstall XP, then transfer back the various settings. Even though, in theory, I shouldn't affect Partition D (containing My Docs and Email messages)I want to back them up to a separate Drive, just in case! Many thanks for any help Charlieh |
