This site was instrumental in my decision to purchas a QI506, I am not an technoid at all and respect the input of the various contributors on this site.  I now have to transfer my settings and files over to the Vista format from my pentium II window XP. to do so I picked up a 4 GB USB Flash drive and now I have to use it, the many sites I have visited to do so do not really tell me how to determine what to and not to move over, any suggestions??

What files are you referring to? Word, excel, picture, music files or other types?

Yes to all you mentioned plus favorites, personal settings, my wife and I have it set up with each of us having our own account (I think that's what you call it) so I'd like to transfer those settings.
I am going to try to use my Office XP on Vista I believe it will work although Office for vist is ony 149.00 right now and might be worth changing to
Thank you for the reply

Brian,

On the XP computer, copy and paste the Documents, pictures and favorites folders onto the backup drive. From the backup drive, copy and paste the documents, favorites and pictures to their respective folders on your new pc.

Office XP will work on vista but if you want an even better deal on office ultimate (the FULLy loaded version of office 2007) and have a valid student email account ".edu" then you can get office ultimate for $59.00!

visit www.theultimatesteal.com (a microsoft website) for details.

I bought a Patriot flash drive to do this. Best investment I've made yet. I got an 8GB, but they have them with more.
