| 136626 | 2003-04-18 03:24:00 | Using same o/s, Win 98SE (as the old one) with a proposed new system, would it be possible to upload all relevant data to achieve a "pre-installed" working environment to the new proposed system via the internet? I am considering buying a new tower and it's up to date contents, but keeping the peripherals - keyboard, speakers, mouse, printer. In my circumstances, I think it could be possible as, for instance, my graphics are not hardware driven at this point - but would like graphics to be hardware driven once up and running. ;\ |

| 136627 | 2003-04-18 03:51:00 | This post seems very ambiguious and i am guessing that is because you are new to computers. There is no need for you to upload your data to the internet. When you upgrade your PC tell the upgrader to transfer your files over. He will copy your hard disk to your new one. The result is that your computer has all its stuff on it................ except it runs faster :-) |

Do you actually mean over a network rather than internet? Networked computers do not require the internet to share files. > But, Roofus, I was hoping that my dinosaur method would overcome the age-old problem of "lost installation CD disks". Would it? As Roofus said, your current hard drive's contents could be imaged onto a new hard drive and the shop assembling your new computer should be able to do this for you. It is, however, not an ideal situation as it would be preferable for your new computer to have fresh installs of everything, including Windows. Can you not try harder to locate the "lost installation CD disks"? |
