LangaList Std Edition 2004-02-23: "Our coverage of 'Transferring Files To A New PC' ( http://www.langa.com/newsletters/2004/2004-01-29.htm#3 ) and the related 'Tools To Transfer Files And Settings' ( http://www.langa.com/newsletters/2004/2004-02-05.htm#1 ) answered some questions, but raised others, such as this:

"Hi Fred, I've been particularly interested in the articles concerning transferring files and settings to a new PC. I just purchased a new motherboard and big hard drive, along with Windows XP Home. Knowing nothing about XP (I've run Win98SE for years), I was wondering if the transfer wizard in XP can handle drive to drive? I'd like to install XP on the new one, then mount the old one as a slave and transfer my old files and settings to the one with XP on it. I've enjoyed Langa List for years and depend on it. Thanks. --- Phil Gentry
Yes it can, Phil. In fact, the Wizard can work through almost any data-transfer medium, including a network, a direct cable connection, CDRs or DVDs, or a hard drive."
