If you are planning on keeping your present machine I would network the two and transfer the files that way. The second machine could then act as a backup.

135243 2003-04-12 09:02:00 The cheapest ($0) way, is to temporarily connect the old PC HDD(s) to a spare IDE cable (adjust for master/slave as required) on the new PC. Transfer files from each HDD one at a time. godfather (25)
