Aggreed AnnieD. Microsoft has good intentions with the transfer wizards, but its no guarantee that it will be perfect when it's done.

As an alternative, you might just promise yourself that you need to set aside a few hours, back up your important docs, favorites, email, saved games, and of course your ART! And start from scratch on the new system, installing all the apps and customizing it.

Once you are done however, I reccomend getting Symantec GHOST. It's about $30 for the desktop version I think, maybe 40. It will take an exact copy/image of your hard drive, so that even if you have a hard drive go bad, you can pop in a new hard drive and load the image it creates from a backup on an external.

I use the professional version at work, have been for years. Its a wonderful tool. I use it at home as well. It has saved me many hours of frustration. Here is a link to it...looks like they bumped the price up a bit from when I last bought it, but it is worth every penny. http://shop.symantecstore.com/store/symnahho/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/ThemeID.106300/productID.90124600

Best of luck!
