Im just looking for some success or horror stories on the best way to do file transfers, Ex.switching files from old system to new system. I have an external hard drive i plan on using along with MS back and restore. I was wondering if there is a third party software available that has more utilities or if MS is the weapon of choice.

Thanks

Pull the HD out of the old computer and slave it to the new hard drive. Now just copy everything you want directly and then remove it. You don't need any programs, it just takes more time that way...

Yes, don't necessarily follow itpro@aol's advice.

It totally depends upon what you are copying over. You could seriously screw up some system files like .dll's that some of your various programs may have changed or updated.

Use a good programlike Norton Ghost.
