quick tech question*read*

just take your old harddrive, set it to slave on the jumpers and put it in your new computer.

firewire cable?

Your hood is over your eyes.

tell me more about this "fire wire"

Are you simply trying to transfer data, or applications?

If it is only data, then yeah, install your HD as slave in your new machine. There should be a little diagram to show you how to set the jumpers on the drive.

^^

if its just files, burn them onto a cd or drop them onto a memory stick of some sort and put them on your new pc. you have to reinstall new software. using firewire or a USB cable would require you to set up a network between your two pcs. i dont know how to do that at this moment, consult your nearest google.

yeah, with me, I had over 30 gigs of music. I had a desktop and tried to transfer it to my new laptop. I had to get a firewire cable to do it. It was alot easier than actually burning a bunch of DVD-R's and stuff.

Just dump the old data. It's cheating on you anyway... oOo:

hows your cousin?

I bet he gets beat up on like the guy in FMJ.

just put the jumpers on slave on your old hdd and stick it in your new pc. It'll show up as a second hard drive so you can transfer the files.

Yah, just hook up the old HD in your new computer. You'll get far better transfer rates then USB/firewire or going through a network.
