1.How To Get Files & Settings Transfer Wizard to Transfer ALL Files/Settings For DIfferently Names Users

I'm moving files/settings from one laptop to another. Each has XP Home with
a single login (Paul). I used the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to do
this. The problem is that some settings and files such as the Outlook PST
didn't transfer. I think it's because the original laptop has "Owner" in
C:\Documents and Settings, and the new one has "Paul" in Documents and
Settings. Of course, each has "All Users" and "Default User".

Is there a way to transfer the settings and files for "Owner" on the old
system to "Paul" on the new system? If there isn't, how can I make sure I
have a perfect copy of the old system's Outlook 2003 contacts, rules, mail,
etc, especially the mail account info.
Thanks

2.Files and Settings Transfer Wizard didn't transfer Outlook and other Office settings

I'm running Windows XP on a Dell Dimension computer, on which I've just 
replaced the hard drive. Prior to removing the old hard drive, I ran the 
Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. I saved the resulting file to a 
removable hard drive. Then once I'd installed the new hard drive and 
installed Windows XP on that, I ran the Wizard on the new drive.

The Wizard worked like a charm on most of my settings. It pulled over all my 
old data files to My Documents, pulled my old settings and Favorites into 
Internet Explorer and made my new desktop look just like the old one. 
However, it did NOT copy over any of my MS Office settings. Mostly what I 
would like to have would be my customizations in Word (shortcuts, toolbars 
and custom templates) and my Outlook settings (Profiles and Accounts. I'm 
wondering if the reason that the MS Office settings were not transferred was 
because the old hard drive had MS Office 2003 SP2 installed whereas, at the 
time of the transfer, the new one just had the basic Office 2003 
installation (without updates). I have now installed the SP1 and SP2 updates 
on top of that.

Which brings me to my question ... what result would I get if I ran the 
Wizard again? Would it duplicate the data files that were previously 
transferred? Or would it just check and replace any that had changed? Am I 
likely to get the Office settings right if I run it again? Does my theory 
above about the different versions of Office sound like a plausible reason 
why the settings weren't transferred the last time?

If duplication is likely, should I just delete the current contents of My 
Documents which is where practically all my data files reside before running 
the Wizard again? I think the only exceptions are one PST file and my 
Quicken files.

If running the Wizard again is likely to be unpredictable, I may be better 
just manually recreating my settings. 

3.Files And Settings Transfer Wizard Did Not Transfer Outlook Settings

I'm moving files/settings from one laptop to another. Each has XP Home and
Office 2003. Each has a single user (login=Paul) and same password. I used
the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard (FSTW) to do this. The problem is
that the Outlook PST and settings (and other settings and files) didn't
transfer.

I think it's because the original laptop has "Owner" in C:\Documents and
Settings, the new one has "Paul" in Documents and Settings. Of course, each
has "All Users" and "Default User". Is there a way to transfer the settings
and files for "Owner" on the old system to "Paul" on the new system? If
there isn't, how can I make sure I have a perfect copy of the old system's
Outlook 2003 contacts, rules, mail, etc, especially the mail account info.
Thanks

5.File Settings and Transfer Wizard won't write Wizard CD

I want to migrate data from my old computer (98) to my new computer (XP) via 
serial cable. To do that I need to create a "Wizard Disk" for my old 
computer. I'm trying to use "File and Settings Transfer Wizard" on my new 
computer to create the Wizard CD, but that program doesn't recognize my 
CD-RW/DVD drive (E:). The dropdown list used to select the output device 
includes choices for only F, G, H, and I, my 8-in-1 media drives. How can I 
get it to write to my CD on drive E?
