If you use a CD, remove the Read Only attribute before trying the import.

You do not have to use a CD.
Flash drive, network, ...... will work.

*Open* the old Address Book | File | Export | Address Book (wab) to any
place on your HDD that's convenient for you and copy to a CD, or directly
to a CD. Copy the CD to the new machine and open the new Address Book and
File | Import | Address Book (wab) and point to where you saved it.
