I am at my wits end trying to use the files and settings transfer wizard on
my new Dell. Any further dealing with Dell support staff (sic) is likely to
send me over the edge.
There are a few posts on the forum that are similar in nature to my problem,
but none exactly match it. I have also read the FAST user guide at
http://aumha.org/win5/a/fast.htm
Anyway, here’s the problem. I have a brand new Dell running Windows XP. I
want to transfer the files and settings from my old computer to the new one
using the F&ST wizard. Dell do not supply the Windows CD, so I need to use
the option to create a Wizard disk.
The trouble is, when I get to the window entitled Do you have a Windows XP
CD? the option “I want to create a Wizard Disk in the following drive� is
not available to me. By this I mean that it is “snowed out� – I can read it
but not click on it.
The new Dell does not have a floppy drive, but does have a CD drive. I
would assume that I should be able to create a Wizard Disk in the CD drive.
Any help most gratefully received.
