I have a hard drive that used to be in a now-defunct laptop and is now in a USB enclosure. I would like to transfer my profile off of that onto a new computer, but I can't see any options in Transwiz when running on a host computer to select a different drive. Is there a way to do this?

Hi,
 
There is currently no option for doing this. Transwiz is set up to look for profiles in the default profile directory (C:\Documents and Settings or C:\Users.)
 
What you can do, however, is simply copy the profile folder from your old drive into the profile directory on your new computer. You can then run http://www.forensit.com/Profwiz/index.htm - User Profile Wizard , select "Unassigned Profiles" and choose the profile folder you have copied, and then assign the profile to your user account.
