Decided to give the XP transfer wizard a try as I have a quantity of
data on the old machine that I wanted on the new - not Windows
settings, just data. No network cards in either machine so
transferring by the serial port seemed a reasonable option.
All went well, although you have to be careful to "un-tick" a lot of
files than Windows wants to bring across. Takes a little time to set
up and then the transfer starts.
It took 3hrs 11mins to transfer 116 Mbytes of data.
I realise the serial ports are not fast but should it really take that
long? Have I missed something here?
Would be pleased to hear comments on this.
Regards
Tony
