If you still have the information on your old HP or it can read your old disk, then place them back on the old HP hard drive. Then buy a baffo cable which comes with PC-Linq from tigerdirect.com and transfer the files to new computer. You can get this cable and software for about $19.95. Or you can use a pen drive to do the same thing but it's slower.
