ByteMe Posted May 24, 2005 Posted May 24, 2005 Sorry if this has been posted b4, but the search engine is down. I have a new PC with Win XP installed and a hard drive from my old PC that has win 2k in it. Is there a way to move my files from the win 2k hard drive to the Win XP computer? Thanx in advance.
dman Posted May 24, 2005 Posted May 24, 2005 Easiest thing would be just install old HD in new computer. This solves problem of transferring files and also gives you a second HD to use.
ByteMe Posted May 24, 2005 Author Posted May 24, 2005 So I just plug the old HD as a slave drive and that will work with no problems?
dman Posted May 24, 2005 Posted May 24, 2005 Yes, set jumpers to slave if it is on IDE cable that already has a drive attached. Master if it is on its own cable. Plug it in and go. Then you can delete useless stuff like old windows and program files and just leave your data and lots of free space.
