now, i am known as the "chaos queen", because if it can happen, it will happen to me. i have a lapper and have moved the game back and forth and this is all based on what i do.
when you install, do a minimum install. BUT you haveta bring all 3 cds with you when you do that!
based on having the smallest file size ( to save space ) when you install the game, don't install "levels" or "cinematics"... that means the game will pull them off the cds when you play, but your file size for the game overall, will be a LOT smaller. upon installation, you have the options of unchecking them during the setup.

mage 77 is absolutely right about the patch. it HAS to be exactly the same or you will be starting all over ~ from scratch.
now for your folders, you need the following:
main folder named: Saves
from this folder, bring over the following files:
~ currentgame.sav
~ autosave.sav
~ one or two of your most current saved games, whatever you have named them. i would take more just for safety sake, but that's me.
~ when you install the game, it will create "sample party.sav", so that will be there. keep it.
sub folder named: Characters
move the entire folder over.
you could just pull out your characters in your current game and not the others, but if something happens, it will save you reinstalling simply for those.
you said you had an npc, so definitely bring that sub folder over, too.
(i have never brought it over. mine is always empty. i guess its not for the rpcs, because i always have 2 of them.)
that should take care of it. if you have any other questions, just ask. we're happy to help! anything to make your trip more wizardry-capable! LOL.
