Have you tried a crossover cable (Ethernet).This will have a higher transfer rate that USB and alot cheaper. A USB  transfer cable is about $30. If you have a router do the transfer over your LAN. 100Mbps over LAN.

No. If you're talking about the older 100 - 200 mghz Dell desktop systems, they do not handle serial ATA.. \n\nMost likely if your dell is more then 2 years old, it will not take this drive (definitely will not if it is more than 3 years old). They require a SATA connection. Instead look for an IDE drive. Any IDE drive should work, although you may not be able to take advantage of the transfer speed.

If you have more data then a cd will hold consider a crossover cable, it will allow you to directly connect both PC.\n\nWhile the crossover cable is connected you will only have access to the other machine and you will need to manually setup the IP information.  Then enable file and print sharing on both machines.\n\nsuggested IP\nMachine 1\n10.0.0.10\n255.255.255.0\n10.0.0.10\n\nMachine 2\n10.0.0.20\n255.255.255.0\n10.0.0.10\n\nThis should work and keep you from wasting a CD or going through the setups of transferring from one computer to an external computer and back down to the new computer.

You will need an adapter.\n\nSpecifically, a parallel-to-USB wire.\n\nThe link listed as a source is an adapter made by Belkin. It gives you some more information about this type of adapter.\n\nNOTE: The site may not represent the lowest price for the product. I highly advise searching local stores and internet sites for the lowest price.

Actually, I've heard that using USB cable to connect the 2 pc's to transfer files is not the recommended way of doing so.\n\nIf you have a USB removable flash memory drive, this is THE easiest and fastest way to transfer files from one pc to another (you can buy 1GB flash drive for $30! or why not a USB external Hard Drive for 80GB for $100?).\n\nIf you don't want to buy another accessory, then your other choice is to connect your 2 pc's together by using either a Null Modem Serial Cable or by using Home Networking. Then, use the "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard", which is already included in your Windows XP operating system.\n\nBut first you need to connect your two computers together. The EASIEST way to connect is to get a Null Modem Serial Cable (buy at any computer shop and they are cheap), while the FASTER way to transfer files is to use Home Networking (more complex method).\n\nUsing the Serial Cable:\nFirst, make sure both pc's have an available serial port (aka COM port). Most new computers have a 9-pin port and most new cables have a 9-pin plug. If you have a 25-pin port on the computer, you'll need to buy an adaptor for the cable. If you have more than one port to plug the serial cable into the computer, just pick one of the ports and plug the serial cable in. The Files And Settings Transfer Wizard will automatically detect the connection later.\n\nHome Networking:\nIf you are planning to keep both your old computer and your new computer, you may want to just create a Home network. \nFirst make sure both computers have a Network Interface Card (NIC) or a USB network interface installed. You'll need a network cable and to buy a hub (If you have wireless, you won't need a cable or a hub). Now, run the "Network Setup Wizard" to set up your Home network (Start menu, All Programs, Accessories, Communications).\n\nAfter you have decided which method to take, and you have connected both computers, run the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard (Start menu, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools). The rest is pretty self-explanatory, but if you do get stuck, here's a link for more help: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/expert/crawford_november12.mspx\n(scroll a little down for the relevant section)\n\nGood Luck!

Try the site below, or the Dell website might have it. An external hard drive might be a good idea, as you just plug it into a USB port and use it. It can be transferred between computers too. Upgrading the RAM would help too. Today's computer require at least 512 MB to run average programs.

everything on the back of the computer is labeled as to what connects to it. It's easier than you might think. Plus the cables are made to only fit in the right spot.\n\nstill not sure, try this http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dimxps/en/sm/D0944a01.pdf#search='computer%20set%20up%20diagram' it might not be the same computer your friend has, but they are all pretty similiar.

There is something called a data transfer cable... \nalso known as File Transfer/ Data link Cable \nThis basically is a cable that connects the TWO computers together and all you have to do is drag and drop...\n\n(safer than cut and paste in case for something the transfer got interrupted.)\n\nWhat i suggest you do is simply drag and drop 500 at a time (u said you have over 4000) \n\nThis way your computer wont freeze up for having to be under the strain of such a large file transfer!\n\nOn e-Bay you could get them real cheap... for a couple of dollars...

You could use the file transfer wizard, but I need more details like:  What operating system are you using?  Do you have a network set up at home?  Do you have a dvd burner?  If you provide any details from the following questions I asked, I could definitely help you out.  Nice work by the way, I saw the 360 page.  I like the golden toilet seat!  LOL
