I've just got a new HD for laptop and want to use the XP wizard to transfer all the files & settings from the old disk.

It seems to create the folder and files okay on my external drive but whenever I swap the HD's and try to run the wizard on the new set-up it keeps coming back saying that there is no info on the external drive - even though I can see it as drive E through explorer and the files are there.

Should I have loaded up XP on the new disk or should I be doing this from an XP cd boot with no windows loaded??

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Got Ghost on order but its 3-5 days away so thought I'd just use Xp to do the swap - nerf Windows :(
