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".
