Problems with new build

Hey guys,

so i finally put my computer together, and finally got a bootable windows cd, and i'm having a few issues. (EDIT: THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED. PLEASE SKIP TO SECOND PROBLEM)firstly, i'm having problems with my wireless card. it's a NetGear WG311T. i installed the driver twice- once from the original CD and once, i downloaded the latest driver onto another computer, and put it on a pen drive. it says that the driver has installed correctly, yet when i reboot the computer with the adapter in, windows doesn't see it and the driver says that the adapter isn't inserted. i ran a Knoppix live CD (linux), and I was connected to our network.

secondly, i would like to know how I can transfer everything from my old computer to my new one. not things like files, but like how my desktop was set up, and what was on my program files list. all the harddrives from my old computer are attached to the new one (former slave drive- current master, former slave- current slave, former master- current slave). i am running windows XP pro coporate edition, sp2.


thanks for your help

Okay, so, I got my wireless card working, as I'm on windows on my new computer now.

So now, I want to know how I can transfer all of my settings from my old harddrive (currently a slave on my new computer) to my new one. When I say settings, I mean things like bookmarks, desktop, the "program files" list, etc. Thanks for all your help.
 
I already toyed around with the "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard"...but that is if you are connecting the computer. My old master drive is currently a slave in my new computer, and I can't find anything in that wizard to transfer the files from a slave to a master.
 
Okay, so, I booted into the old master, ran the files and settings transfer wizard, then booted back into this hdd, ran the files and settings transfer wizard, and nothing happened. the only difference was my wallpaper changed to "Dell". my desktop is still the same, my program files list is still the same, etc. however, the bookmarks in opera have been added from my old computer.
