Using a Serial Cable to Transfer
Files and Settings Between
Computers
You can copy files or settings from your old computer
to your new computer by using this kit and the Microsoft
Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. This procedure may
take several hours, depending on how much information
is copied.
This kit includes a serial cable and a blank, formatted
3.5-inch diskette. The cable is used to transfer the files.
The diskette is used to create a Wizard Disk, which gives
the computer instructions about transferring files.
Note:
Before you start, be sure that your old computer
has an available serial port (also called a COM
port). The old computer must also have one of the
following Windows
®
operating systems: Windows
95, 98, 98SE, Me

NT 4.0, 2000, or XP (32-bit).

to each other, and remove the serial cable and the
3.5-inch diskette from the package.

of each computer. Be sure the cables are securely
connected.
Note:
On many computers, the serial port is on the
