629080	2008-01-10 10:27:00	And hope you've got 30-40 blanks lol . I wouldnt waste my cd's doing it that way . Well I had a win98 and then got given a winxp, and I actually emailed my stuff from win98 to winxp on dialup!!! Most of my freebie programs I downloaded from the net . But on Tues pm just gone, the winxp just died . Going great in the morning, and when I got on it in the afternoon it wouldn't switch on . Nearly did me in, now I'm back to dear ole 98 which thankfully is refusing to die . Everyone talks about progress . But all I see is masses of shortlived, overcomplicated computer crap all over the place . Hardly anything is compatible with anything . Wacky world we live in . By the way, Speedy, was going to thankyou for your last reply but something went wrong somewhere and had to get off the net, so consider yourself thanked now :thumbs: . I need some space away from computers for a while . Cheers .	MMM (5660)
629081	2008-01-10 20:11:00	Have a Win98SE PC, and want to load data from it's hard drive over to a new PC with WinVista . Can you tell me the best-cum-easiest way to do this? Do we copy to CD's to tsfr, or do we get cables to connect both PC's or what . Easy: Backing your data up to CD or DVD . And I'd be surprised if you needed 30 CDs, most people overestimate how much space their photos and stuff take up . Easy: Take the hard drive out . Put it in the new PC as a slave . File copy .	pctek (84)
