Maybe I've been leading a charmed life - - -
My source computer is 7 years old and started life as Win98 - it currently Win XP Pro SP3 single processor 2gbytes of memory.
My target computer is a Gateway laptop, dual AMD processors, 4 gbytes memory, Vista Home Premium SP2 32 bit OS.
I travel several times a year - usually to go surfing in Hawaii. Each time - I do the procedure outlined below and have never had any problems. The two computers are connected via a Netgear router and I just remove the file protection on the source computer and copy everything over.
Maybe I'm just lucky.
