Product description

The IBM Data Migration Kit provides an easy way to copy Microsoft Windows«desktop settings, network settings, Internet bookmarks, and data files from a previous computer to a new computer. For migrating to Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me), or Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, the migration process is managed by the IBM Data Transfer Software program. This program is available on the CD that comes with your kit.

For migrating to Windows XP, the migration is managed by the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard, which comes with the Windows XP operating system. The data and settings will be transferred from the previous computer using an Ethernet connection between the two computers.

In addition to the IBM Data Migration User’s Guide and Software CD, the option package includes:

v IBM Data Migration Kit User’s Guide v Safety Information book v Crossover cable v PCI Ethernet adapter for desktop computers (PCI Kit only) v Ethernet PC Card and converter cable for mobile computers (PC Card Kit

only)

To use the data migration kit, the previous computer and new computer must have an Ethernet adapter installed. The PCI Kit (for desktop computers) and the PC Card Kit (for mobile computers) each include an Ethernet adapter that must be installed in the previous computer, if that computer does not already have an Ethernet adapter. The Basic Kit does not include an Ethernet adapter.

Contact your place of purchase if an item is missing or damaged. Be sure to retain your proof of purchase and packing material. They might be required to receive warranty service.

You can perform the data-migration process between two computers with Windows operating systems. The computers can have different operating systems; however, not all Windows operating-system combinations are supported. See “Supported operating-system combinations”.

Migrating data

Depending on the operating system on your new computer the migration process varies.

v If you will be migrating to a computer running Windows 2000, Windows

Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95, see “Migrating data to a computer running Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95”.

v If you are migrating to a computer running Windows XP, see “Migrating

data to a computer running Windows XP” on page 1-49.

Migrating data to a computer running Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95

Before performing the migration, read the suggestions in the section below.

Suggestions before migration

1. Many documents are saved to the My Documents folder by default. If you have created more than one user on your previous computer, there may be more than one folder called My Documents. The IBM Data Transfer program prompts you to choose the data that will be migrated by selecting folders. If there is more than one user on your previous machine and you want to transfer the My Documents folder for each user, make sure to check the following locations and select the My Documents folder if it exists (the username will vary depending on the user accounts available on the machine).

1-12 IBM Data Migration Kit: User ’s Guide

Windows 2000

c:\Documents and settings\username\My Documents c:\WINNT40\Profiles\username\personal

Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95 c:\Windows\Profiles\username\My Documents

2. If you are migrating the My Documents folder from a computer that has multiple users and you will want to use the same user names on the new computer, you should create the user names on the new computer before beginning the migration. Creating the user name on the new computer before the migration will cause the My Documents folder for that user to be created before the migration. Then when the data files from the My Documents folder for that user on the old machine are migrated, they will be placed properly in the My Documents folder on the new machine. Creating a user name on the new machine after migrating the My Documents folder for that user from the previous machine may change the location of the files in My Documents. You will be creating a My Documents folder for that user during the migration as well as when setting up the new user name.

Follow these instructions to perform the data migration:

Note: You might need the original diskettes or CD that came with your

operating system.

1. If your new computer is running Windows 2000, log on to your new computer with a user name that is part of the Administrators group.

Note: For information on logging on to Windows and checking whether a

user name is part of the Administrators group, see Appendix A, “Troubleshooting, hints, and tips” on page A-1

2. Insert the IBM Data Migration User’s Guide and Software CD into the CD-ROM or DVD drive in your new computer.

3. If your browser window does not automatically open, click Start -> Run and type e:\launch.htm where e is the CD-ROM or DVD drive. Select or click your language on the language browser page.

4. On the left side of the browser page, click Install IBM Data Transfer Application to start the automated InstallShield program for IBM Data

open. Please note that Internet bookmarks will only be copied if both computers have Active Desktop support. Click OK.

Note: To check whether you have Active Desktop installed, right-click

on your computer desktop. If Active Desktop is installed, it is displayed in the right-click menu.

v If Network settings is selected, the following window will open. Please

note that if network settings are transferred, any static IP addresses from your previous computer will be migrated to your new computer. If you will have your new and previous computer on the same network after the migration, they cannot have the same static IP address. Therefore you might need to change the IP address of one of the

Installation and user’s guide 1-19

computers. Click OK.

v If Folder contents is selected, the following window will open. Please

note that any files that are transferred from the old computer will replace any files on the new computer that have the same name and same path. For example, if you transfer a folder with the path C:\Pictures that contains the file, picture1.bmp, on your previous computer and your new computer already has a file with the path C:\Pictures\picture1.bmp, then the picture1.bmp file on your new computer will be replaced by the picture1.bmp file from your previous computer.

If you transfer the folder C:\Picture from your previous machine and you already have a folder C:\Pictures on your new machine, the contents of the Pictures folder from your previous machine will be added to the contents of the Pictures folders on your new machine. Since this kit is meant to be used to transfer data to a brand new IBM computer, you should not have any data files already on the new computer that would be overwritten by data files from your previous machine.

Note: You will be prompted to choose which folders you want to

transfer later in step 17 in ″Installing and running the IBM data transfer software on the previous computer″.
