Creating an account on new computer from old computer

Hi...need to see if i can get some help on this and hopefully it makes
sense, I posted in another forum already but that solution didnt work for
me......

1. Old computer has 1 drive with 1 account on it
2. New computer 3 seperate drives
3. On a home network
4. Win XP w/ sp3 on both

I'm trying to set up the old account on a new computer, using a second drive
as destination . My intent is to move everything, all files, settings,
passwords. outlook pst...etc.

The new computer has an admin account on C:\ and needs to have another
account on D:\

Can I clone computer 1 and restore on computer 2? File and transfer wizard
doesnt help me much. Is dual booting an option? Or , does anyone have
another solution?

thanks in advance

Hello Ingoloid,

Better post this to a XP newsgroup, this is not a real networking problem:
microsoft.public.windowsxp.setup_deployment
microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics
microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware
microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage

Best regards
