Can I use the Windows
Easy Transfer wizard to
keep my settings in a
dual-boot environment?
Yes. You can transfer the
necessary settings to the
new Windows Vista
installation if you have
installed Windows Vista to
a different partition.
Otherwise, you run the
risk of overwriting settings
in the shared partition.
See Chapter 2 for more
information on installation
methods and caveats.
Does the Windows Easy
Transfer wizard transfer
any special folders I have
set up on my computer?
The Windows Easy
Transfer wizard packages
up any files and folders
that you add to it during
the transfer process, but it
does not always create
special folders or paths on
the new computer. If you
have a special share that
you want to transfer,
re-create the share on the
new computer before you
run the wizard.
I ran the Windows Easy
Transfer wizard, but when
I log in to the new
computer I do not see the
files anywhere. Why is
this?
When you import the files
and folders to the new
system, you must be
logged in as the same user.
If there are Active Directory
policies preventing you
from logging in at more
than one computer at a
time, you need to save the
files to an intermediate
share first.
