Transfer Wizard/Ethernet

[Annie E.]

Hi:
I plan to transfer some of files/folders, especially
Outlook Express's folders to the other computer. Both
machines are manufactured by Hp with XP, but one year's
apart. Then, the new one has more features on it, but
basically the same.
In order to transfer those files/folders, I want to
use 'Transfer Wizard' by using 'Ethernet Cable' I
purchased at local computer store.
My question is;
Is it safe to transfer by using this cable, 'Ethernet?'
Because, non-computer expert like me, there is/are any
problems occurring due to this 'transfer?' What form
of 'precautious measures' I should take in order to NOT
some bad happen?

Your opinions, advices and any other suggestions are VERY
welcome. Thanks for your help on this regard, 'Transfer
Wizard' in advance.
Annie E.

Hi Annie,

It's perfectly safe to use an ethernet cable. Read up on using the FASTWIZ

You also may need help on getting the machines to talk to each other, see:
