In my opinion, if you don't have a burner or the transfer cables (as KC
mentioned), and you don't want to spend the money for extra equipment, and its
easy enough for you to access the tower to open it up... the way you mentioned
would probably be the best way of doing it. Just hook up the old drive to the
new computer as a second HD, and then trasnfer the files. Very easy to do. Just
requires connecting the drive, and barring rare cases, your system should
recognize the drive with no problem.

What sort of files? small files could be e-mailed to yourself maybe? send
from one machine, and receive to the other?
I'm curious about how to do this because at some point, I will be getting a
new machine. Mostly everything I want, I hope to have burned before hand
though, like Troth says.
I don't know how to do it - but someone here would - my son took my hard
drive from my old computer before and ghosted certain information over to a
partition on the 'new' computer. He had both hard drives hooked up to the new
computer at the time -

So many ways to approach this...
If you have a burner, maybe you can connect the burner to the ME computer and
put everything on CD?!?!?! If you don't have a burner, you can pick them up so
cheaply nowadays, and they can always come to good use.
Otherwise, maybe picking up a cheap 2-port hub?

I hope someone can help me. I have an old computer running ME and want to
transfer some files, programs and such to the new computer running XP.
I purchased a null modem cable and cannot get either computer to "see" a
connection.The older computer, set as host, keeps asking me if the new
computer, set as guest, is turned on! lol The new computer isn't saying
anything, just keeps looking.
I tried setting up a direct link and then tired using the file and settings
transfer wizard under XP, but neither way is working.
If anyone knows how to do this, please email me and let me know.
By the way, both do have USB ports and someone suggested going that route or
going with a parrallel port cable. I know even less about these options!
Thanks,
Tina
