    All you need to do is to download the file below.
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
    Load it onto the new XP build and you should be able to transfer the files and settings onto the new machine.
    You can pick and choose what gets transferred.
    More info at the Easy Transfer page.

    I have my backup in my external hard drive, so I selected the external option.



    Here's the start menu.



    Where is the "transfer to new computer" option?



    It's missing when I do it

    Using the "This is my new computer" expands the files and settings from the mig file to the computer your running it from.

    Edit: Are you trying to use the Windows Easy Transfer from the Windows 7 DVD to move settings to XP? With that one you can only move settings from XP/Vista to Windows 7. Hence the missing option.

    I have used the Windows easy Transfer 4 times now to an external HD

    Last time was 132 gb's of files, programs, settings, docs, etc.

    Worked perfectly each time

    Windows Easy Transfer does not exist in XP (if it does then i missed it). Follow this tutorial Windows Easy Transfer - Transfer To & From Computers and you should have all the info you need.

    Hope it helps :) if not then post back.
       Note
    You do not need to have 2 machines connected in order to transfer files & settings

    I take it your wanting to transfer settings from XP to XP?
    The 'Windows Easy Transfer for Windows XP ' is for
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
    1) Windows XP SP2 to Windows Vista
    2) Windows Vista to Windows Vista

    For XP to XP your going to want to use 'file and settings transfer wizard' built into XP. There is a guide on the MS website
    http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...p/migrate.mspx

    To use the external disk method, start here:
    Windows XP: Moving files and settings to a new computer

    Hope that helps
