| 1181561 | 2011-02-26 07:19:00 | Thanx guys, but just realized, the floppy drive not working. Whenever I insert a disk into it, it says I need to format disk. I format disk, and then it says i need to format it again! If you have a non-USB 2.5" enclosure for the HD - that might work with the lappie HD. Does it hav a CD or infra-red? |

| 1181564 | 2011-02-26 07:31:00 | Probably easiest to take the HDD out, copy the files onto it you need and put it back in. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1181565 | 2011-02-26 07:36:00 | I actually don't know if it would be worth all the effort. Still, it would be cool to try. | bot (15449) | ||
| 1181566 | 2011-02-26 07:39:00 | You may be able to transfer the files via serial port and a null modem cable - IF Win3.11 comes with a suitable program.. not sure if it does,. | Agent_24 (57) | ||

| 1181568 | 2011-02-26 07:53:00 | It's a serial cable which is similar to that of a crossover ethernet cable in that the appropriate wires are crossed over. This should explain it: en.wikipedia.org |

It's a compaq contura 410 fyi They made 486DX laptops in 92 - must of been a high model at the time :p We threw out a HP CD Writer (Parallel Port) some yrs ago. I am sure there would be free software if you google - from the likes of daemon tools maybe. Laplink might of been used in the 3.1 days but not free even thou it's not worth anything now .. |
