Re: Migration Nightmare

Opps...You need to do several things to get this squared away.

- Remove any new Users from the New PC
- Use Original PC, Run FAST (Files & Settings Transfer Wizard)
- Burn output of FAST to CD-R
- New PC, Create users with same names as on Original PC
- Insert FAST Data CD-R
- Login to New PC account, Use FAST to Recovery Settings
(must be done on each user's account, one at a time)
- Install those 3rd-Party applications that didn't come pre-installed
on your new PC.
- Once completed, buy an Imaging program and "Immediately" take
an image of your new/re-configured PC.

There are numerous sites on the web that describe this process in
much greater detail.
