If your old HDD has an operating system on it you dont want to transfer it ALL to a new computer as chances are the drivers will be different and it wont boot. if you are going to transfer the info to a new HDD that you are replacing for the old one use norton ghost. if you just want to add the old drive as a slave reset the jumper on the back of the drive I assume it is ATA not SATA and put it in the new case on the slave connector of the cable, make sure the new computer HDD is set as master NOT CS, now if you have SATA on the new machine, and you have 2 optic disks CD  and DVD you may need to buy a PCI card that has another ata connector so that you can install 3 ata devices, once installed delete the operating system on the slave

Well u should take it to a technician, and only if they will guarantee in writing not to lose your files.  Formatting will definately lose your files.  And, also, u have to delete windows from the old drive too.

Your first approach might be to find a friend with a desktop and cd burner who knows a little about installing hard drives. Your old hard drive may still be in working order and it can be installed as a slave on your friends computer. Your old drive will need the pin set on it to slave. The drive, after installed will show up in my computer and then its just a matter of burning the files from the slave drive to cds...

Just move your data files to the D drive.

Looking at the age of your PC, I fear that your options are very limited. I'd suggest using one of the three methods (depending on the size of your data and how much CPU speed/RAM you have.\n\n1. Use a USB Flash Drive/Memory Card - This method is good for smaller data transfers up to 1GB or so, since your operating system is 98, I'd say most memory cards and USB flash drives would reconize your computer.\n\n2. Set up an LAN network between the two computers. You will need to get a ethernet cable and a Network card for your old PC (might cost around 20 dollars if you dont already have one). Now go to control panels and network to set up a network (email me if you need help with that). \n\n3. The most expensive method is by using an external hard drive. These cost a couple hundred bucks though would probably be the fastest way for transfering data 10GB or higher. Though if you want to buy one, make sure it is compatable with your old pc.

Your best bet would be to just reinstall the operating system onto the new computer using the original cds.  Then just copy the files you want to save onto a cd or transfer through a network.\n\nIf you dont have the original cds, you can use a program like partition magic, which allows you to completely copy one hard drive to the other, although this would require you to put both hard drives in one computer.

1. Unplug all computer connections.\n2. Take off computer case.\n3. Find the cord going from your existing hard drive to the motherboard. There should be a free connection there somewhere.\n4. Plug in the new hard drive into that empty slot.\n5. You should see a 4 prong power cord coming from your existing hard drive. Find another one coming out of your power supply and plug it into your other hard drive.\n6. Screw in your new hard drive.\n7. Shut case and plug cables back in.\n8. Restart computer. Your computer should recognize the hard drive regardless of OS.\n\nPlease note that while these instructions work fine for installing hard drives on my computer, they might not work very well for yours. I'd get a second oppinion before you go tinkering w/ your computer if you've never done it before. Also, consult your computer manual for more detailed instructions.

Well if your new drive does not have an OS on and it is set to the slave drive(most commonly read as the hd0), then it should simply be accessible in your My Computer. Once you have opened My Computer, just open up the Master HDD and copy the files you want by right clicking them and selecting copy. Then open up the Slave HDD and right click and select paste. But it would be wise to create a folder structure on the slave drive firs before pasting the files. to do this right click, once you've opened the drive, and select New then select Folder. At this point you will be able to name the folder.\nOn the other hand if you have loaded an OS on the Slave drive and have a dual booting machine(where you can select which OS to operate on) then the best answer for this situation would to start the computer from the Master HDD. And back up the files onto a Thumb Drive. Then restart the computer using the Slave HDD and copy the files from the Thumb Drive to your new HDD.\n\nHope I have helped you out.

There a few ways you can copy files from one computer 2 another:\n1 - you can burn data onto a cd-rw so that u can use the same disk over and over again.\n2 - you can use a flash drive to transfer data\n3 - if u have a desktop pc u can conect the hardrive from your old pc into your new one and copy them from hard drive to hard drive\n4 - you can connect them via network cable and enable them to share files\n\nI would suggest the burning to a cd-rw or using a flash drive if u dont know much about computers if u need any further help or information send me a message\n\nHope this helps!

You could always take out the hard drive and install it into your new computer as a slave drive, hopefully the drive isn't fried but if it isn't you will be able to explore the drive and drag any files wanted onto your new drive. \nIf the drive is in good condition, you can then reformat the drive and keep the drive as a slave for your new computer

Run the Files & Settings transfer Again and click on this is the new computer and when it ask you for the location of the back direct it to the cd rom or where ever you have the files and let it do its thing.

If you still have the other harddrive then I would reccomend that you make in the Master drive and the new drive the Slave.  This way you will not need to reinstall your office programs because they will be on your primary drive.

How about plugging the old  hard disk into the new PC. Offcourse this may not be desirable if you have a far upgraded & new hard drive.\n\nI have used connected data protector. It restores everthing, but I did not restore applications.\n\nAnd it does allow you to select directory by directory\n\nBut a suggestion. try to re-install the software if possible. Sometimes a restored software may not work. \n\nI do not know the cost for a single user though

Install your old hard drive in your new computer setting the jumper to Slave.  Copy off the files you want, reformat the drive and them you will have 2 hard drives.
