Hi just a quick question i have just been given a computer for the kids. Is there a quick way of copying files/pictures from my old one to the new one. I know you can ghost it but i dont want all the files over. I want to leave them and use the old hd as a backup.
Cheers

Are they networked? Can you plug them into same router?
-
I not networked but good prob put both into the same bt router

Given the questions you are asking, I'd say use a USB key to move them :y
Networking is quicker, but for just a few photos, probably take more time to explain than it would to copy via USB key

You can use a transfer cable Belkin do one. In fact I have a Vista one lying around if you want it just pay the postage :y

Guessing thats a twisted pair cat5 cable, easier just to use an external hard drive :y

If its only data you want to transfer, easiest way is to temporarily fit old hard drive into new PC and copy it across :y

Possibly for someone not confident to take the tops off their computers ;)

I was thinking of that but because i have not picked it up yet i was not sure if i could do it. Also just wanted to know if they was another easy way. Not great with computers.
