How to a migrate my data to another computer?

[macaronic]

Thanks for your reply Derek!

When I go File -> Open and select the location where the file is saved, I
get "The file //G:\My Backed up Documents\gnu\frank could not be found."

I have also tried File -> Import -> (Various Options) with no luck.



The directory has one file with no extension (50KB) and two log files (1kB). 
I have packaged everything in a zip file:
http://sites.google.com/site/gnunow/gnu/gnu.zip?attredirects=0


Thank you! Loosing all your data is not the best thing in the world.
