Do I need to make those files all over again? Per the documentation for DumpSave, a .mx file has a format unique to a given platform (and possibly Mathematica version). (Click the arrow by More information on the DumpSave documentation page.) So, if all of your saved files are in .mx format and you are using a different system, then your only choice is to re-create the files. If you need/want to move Mathematica files from system to system, your best bet is to save in a Notebook, .m file or plain ASCII. Other formats can be made to work but tend to be more trouble to port from system to system.
