1. Before importing your data, perform a HotSync operation using your
old Palm OS device to make sure that all of your data is backed up.
2. Open the Palm folder on your hard drive (usually
C:\ProgramFiles\Palm).
3. Create a new folder called “old device” in this directory.
4. Find the folder that contains the information for your old Palm OS
device. Its name should be similar to the device's HotSync user
name.
