What recommendations do you have for me in transferring files from my
current hard drive to a new computer I am planning to buy. I plan to buy a
new Dell with XP. I currently have a Dell W95 with no CD Burner, no USB. My
95 machine does have a floppy, a CR-ROM and a Zip drive (100 Meg). Some of
the files I want to transfer are 5 to 10 Megs, so they're too big for
floppies. I wonder if I can save what I want to transfer onto a zip disk,
and then install the zip drive in the new machine. I don't have any idea if
my old zip drive is compatible with Win XP, or can even be installed. What
are my options? Is there a way to connect the two computers and directly
transfer files from the W95 HD to the new computer? Is that a good solution?
Are there secure websites where I could save my files then download to the
new computer? I do have broadband and a router. Can I connect the new XP
machine to the router and transfer the files directly through the ethernet
connection? What other better suggestions do you have for me? Thanks.
