On the new windows 7 machine click on the start button and type in migwiz, it 
will give you what you want.  You will be able to copy the software to the usb 
drive or network drive, it has good instructions included.

Subject: User Migration tool

I am heading out to do a quick user migration and would like a bit of an 
assist.  There is a tool built into XP for migrating a user from XP to another 
machine will it work with the same tool in Windows 7?  Normally we blow away 
user profiles and create new but this is a special case and I really hate the 
idea of being forced to do that if this tool will work as advertised.  Hardware 
for old machine is being retired, new machine is waiting, and there is a 1 TB 
USB drive sitting next to the machines waiting for data.  I have seen this done 
with XP to Vista but I have not done it myself.  I am pulling the Windows 7 AIK 
tool now if that would work better.  I will have to pull about 160 GB of data 
mostly pic's and various audio files from one machine to another.

I know there is IPod files there as well so am I looking at a nightmare with 
this migration?

Thanks for any insight here,

Jon
