Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply. Can I burn them to a CD-R and then install
the information on the new PC with a
DVD recorder?

Hi, I just recieved my new PC and now I can't figure out how to
transfer
all my files from my older PC. My new pc is a

Dell XPS 400 Pentium® D Processor 820 with Dual Core Technology
(2.80GHz,
800FSB) , it has a DVD recorder writer. Trouble is my old pc has a cd
rom
recorder writer. I thought I would be able to place the old harddrive
into my new machine. Please help.


How much work do you want to do? The easiest way to transfer files
is to burn them to a CD-R on the old machine and then copy the files
to the new machine. At the same time, a backup is made. Why bother
about opening the new computer and trying to hook up the old drive?
