The data migration process
To use the IBM Data Migration Kit, your new IBM computer must already have an Ethernet adapter. Your previous computer also must have an Ethernet adapter. If your previous computer does not already have an Ethernet adapter, you should have purchased the PCI Kit for desktop computers or the PC Card for mobile computers.
Each of these kits contains an Ethernet adapter that you can install in your previous computer. If your previous computer already has an Ethernet adapter, you should have purchased the Basic Kit.
The data migration consists of these basic steps for migrating to a computer running Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95:
1.If your previous computer does not have an Ethernet adapter, install the Ethernet adapter and device drivers in your previous computer.
2.Connect the Ethernet ports on your new computer and previous computer, using the crossover cable included in the kit.
3.Install and run the IBM Data Transfer on the new computer.
4.Install and run the IBM Data Transfer on the previous computer. (In this step you will choose which files and settings you want to transfer).
5.Continue the migration process on the new computer.
