if your networked? add then to the shared file list and transfer them that way, or remove the drive their on and add link it the new pc via an external cradle and transfer them across to the new pc's HD

If you are using XP go to: All programs, accessories, system tools, Files and Settings Transfer Wizard and then click on the 'connecting your computers' link. This tells you about the cable options. Andy.

Easiest way without networking or cabling together is to email the files from one machine to the other or upload them from the old pc to a remote file hosting site, then download them to the new pc. (this obviously providing both PCs are connected to t'internet!)

would not really sensible not to have your data backed up :) so just bite the bullet - write them to cd copy across and put the cd's away as back up :)

Acronis True image (vs10 home) is an alternaive to Ghost (was ok as powerquest DI but now is Norton - will not have any of their software on my machines anymore. They used to be good in the days of DOS - NDD and NU but they even need to give their software away nowadays (see P*ssy world and Dell) :lol:.

 

Ps I know some peeps have no trouble with norton ... but if you do unistallation is a nightmare and talking about slowing your machine down !!!!!

Nik - you're right! I got rid of Norton Internet Security (a total pain in the patella).

What p*ss*d me off was when I tried to renew my subscription on my 3 user licence on-line, and the software would only update one licence. In the end I wrote to Trading Standards about it, but, toothless wonders that they are, nothing got done about it.

Nice to see there is an alternative now that PowerQuest got hoovered up.

BTW, I like the way PowerQuest didn't use a space between words, e.g. PartitionMagic and the unforgettable DrivelMage. Or is that DriveImage?

If you want to do it without buying anything, you can put your old PC's harddrive into your new PC :lol:
