Transferring Files Onto New PC Through Wire / Cable?
Jan 6, 2006I'm quite new to computers so this may seem like a silly question, but I thought I'd ask anyway...I'm due to buy a new computer, but I have many MP3 music/video files on my old one and want to transfer them to the new one. The thing is I don't want to do it my connecting the two PC's ( with a wire/cabel etc.), so I was wondering if there's any other way of doing it?? Could I use a disc for instance (floppy disc??)

View 4 Replies View RelatedVery Slow Performance Transferring Files
Jul 13, 2006Here's a toughie to crack
2 hard drives, both sata, 120 GB Seagate and 250 GB Maxtor
hooked up to a Asus P4P800SE board with p4 2.53 ghz cpu and 1024 mb of DDR333 ram Windows XP Pro SP2
now.... on a fresh windows install when i copy a file from one drive to the other it goes fast (700 meg file in under 30 seconds)... then I install all my basic software (office, winamp, visual studio, nod32, device drivers for manufacturers website) and following that eventually my performance drops through the floor... it takes like 7 minutes to copy the above mentioned 700 meg file and while at it the CPU usage is high. Process explorer (sysinternals) says that most of that cpu power is taken up by hardware interrupts and I cant do much else when its copying. If i boot with WinPE those files transfer good again... 30 seconds for 700 megs.
SO this is a software problem and what i've done already is
1. disabled my startups
2. double checked that my drives are DMA enabled
3. switched back to standard IDE drivers for the controller (made no difference so i reinstalled the Intel chipset drivers again)
4. defragged the drive
and i'm out of ideas on what else I could try... if anyone has any ideas i'd be greatful. there is no viri/spyware on this machine. its been scanned left right and center
Transferring The Files While Converting From Fat 32 To NTFS?
Feb 25, 2006I am currently running Fat32 and as noted in a previous post I am building a new computer. I have copied some files on to cds. What I would like to know (if someone has done this) is that can these files be transfered to the new build as I plan on going NTFS. Will they convert from fat32 to NTFS when copied from the disc or even work at all? Or just out of luck and have to start all over?

Nov 22, 2009I wanted to transfer all my files from one box to another, so I rammed in the gateway hard drive, copied all files in the root of the drive, and pasted it into a folder on my New desktop.When the file transfer finished, the folder (on the New desktop) disappeared... Funny. So, I checked the hidden files in explorer. Not there...Well, I used the command prompt. Not there either. After a while, I forgot about it, and just recently got a new defrag program (SmartDefrag).

Apr 1, 2007I have a really old computer; not to sure what the system specs are like other than it being made by Tiny and having a 4 GB HDD. My mum wants to use the word processor now and then but the printer has broken and she would rather not buy another; partly because drivers may be an issue and partly becuase I have unused retail copies of Windows ME and 2000 that a couple of mates donated and can print off at my Dad's house.The issue with 98 is that I want to be using USB sticks when necessary to transfer word documents over to my Dad's computer running XP to print but 98 does not have the necessary drivers and I think it is impossible to get any; from what I understand that what 98 SE was for.

When I only had a 12gb boot drive before and now will have much more than 160gb available, transferring a bit of redundancy, (tho' I know not ideal), would be worth the days of headaches and thumb twiddling.

Will I be able to just do the online activation or will I need to do the phone activation since I'm transferring a license.

Jun 29, 2005Bought a new barebones PC and want to transfer my old hard disk with XP pro on it to the new machine.Back in the good old / bad old days of Win98 etc, it was easy to do this as Windows saw IDE as IDE and made no other requests to the system to fine tune, AFAIR.Now though if I transfer the drive I get a reboot, safe mode does the same.I can furnish more info from the boot log if required later but does anyone have a sure fire way of getting the GUI up and running so that it can start updating drivers etc.I'm also transferring the cdrom, dvdrw and most importantly the AGP graphics card so it's not an issue with that

Transferring Data From Old Computer To New
Jun 15, 2006A friend of mine has recently bought a new computer with Windows XP Home. Her old computer is a Window 98. She wants to transfer some files from her old one to the new one. I know that the Windows XP has a Files and Settings Transfer Wizard, but though I've done a search for that on the Microsoft site, I've not found any real information about the process. It does mention how to use floppies or other removable storage, but can this be done with USB cable, or something? If so, how would I hook it up? Will I see an option to choose to use a USB cable for the transfer in the Wizard? From the information I found, it does not even mention using a USB, but I find it hard to believe that one could NOT.
