Problem with FAST wizard

[Guest]

I am trying to transfer my files and settings from an old computer running
Windows ME. My problem is that when I run the wizard it does not allow me to
select the option "I want to create a Wizard Disk" i.e. it is greyed out.
The new computer does not have a 3.5 floppy disk drive. I do not have a
windows XP CD because Windows was installed by the computer hardware company.
I do not have a serial cable.

I'd be grateful for a solution to this problem

Hi kaysee,

Use an USB Cable. However, since you are transferring data from Windows
ME, don't transfer settings, but create new settings.

This is the type of USB Cable you need:

It is USB Male A to USB Male A.

Also you can use a Router and a Backup program to transfer files like
Nero Backup for example.

I'm having the same problem as you. I notice your post is over a month old
.... did you ever figure out how to fix it?

I realize this may be rather a bit late to help you out, but I have just
found out what your problem is (I had the same problem and a kindly soul
answered it for me). Unfortunately, the F.A.S.T. wizard DOES NOT SUPPORT
creating a wizard disc using a CD or a DVD. You can only use a floppy disk
or some other type of removable media, such as a flash drive. This can be a
real pain if your new PC does not have a floppy drive and your old PC does
not support USB 2.0.

As far as I can tell, if you are migrating from Windows 95, your only choice
is to use a floppy disk to contain the wizard. If you are migrating from
Windows 98 first edition, you can use a flash drive, but you have to download
a generic USB 2.0 driver for W98 from the Internet (Microsoft doesn't have
any). If you search on these newsgroups, you can find a link to a site which
has the required driver.
