How can brand new computer freeze up sometimes (of course I have a
zillion windows at that time), and I think it is slow. Now the person
who delivered it put my oold hard drive in it ALSO so that I could
transfer the info - would that make a differece. I know they put so
much crap on new computers, can anyone help. A brand new computer
should be zooming. If you want tech info - please advise on where I go
to find it. Thanks.
Okay, you are wise to take it slowly, but you did get good advice.
An older hard drive is likely to be "IDE". If you attach 2 devices to one "IDE Bus" the transfer of information on the "Bus" will be at the speed of the slowest device. Your guess that the drive could be part of the problem may be a good one.
If the tech attached the old drive to the same bus as your new drive then it could be disk access speed you are lacking, did the tech advise you not to do that at all?
Do you know roughly what size the old drive was, it may be so small that once you copy the data from it you would be better to "Lose" it.
What is the computer, a model number off the front would help people to help you because then they can look things up - we all have to do that :)
