Transferring files

[Guest]

Hi,

I just transferred 40G worth of files (10 years!) from my
old computer to my new one. The easiest way is to use an
external plug and play hard drive (or memory key, if you
want to transfer fewer files).

Do you know anyone who has an external plug and play hard
drive/storage system? They're not very expensive and
very useful. Basically, you plug it in the USB port of
the computer a ... and your system will recognize it.
Then you can directly copy your files to the hard drive
and unplug it. Then you plug it into computer "b" and
do a drag and drop to copy it there. Voila! Now that I
have USB ports on the front of my computer, it's even
easier!

This sounded like a great solution to my problem of moving larger files.

I bought a 1 GB Lexor Jump Drive so I could transfer files from Dell M50 to
Toshiba A75. Both run Windows XP. The Dell M50 would not recognize the Jump
Drive when I inserted it into either of the two USBs. Even though the Contol
Panel/System/Device Manager says both USBs are working properly. The Jump
Drive works fine when I insert to the Toshiba and is recognized immediately.
