Hey Steve, 2 ideas come to mind--The first I am not completely sure about...and I will ask list members to correct me if I am wrong... The 2nd option I think is far better. 1. Use the File and Settings Transfer Wizard, treating the laptop as the "old" computer. The Wizard can be found by going to Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, then Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. 2. Save the messages to a CD, then transfer the messages directly from the CD. You will have a backup if your system crashes, plus, (my personal opinion here) this is sooooo much simpler. I will always recommend having a "hard copy" of anything vitally important to you. In the event of a system crash, you may not be able to salvage the data.
