Title: Files and Settings Transfer Wizard
Post by: kblado7609 on November 30, 2007, 09:01:54 PM

I want to backup all my files to an external hard drive using the transfer wizard.  If I do that, will it just copy my files to the external hard drive or will it actually "transfer" them, deleting them off my computer?

Thanks for any help

I would copy them anyway...then make sure everything's OK.  Then delete the originals
