I wonder if anyone can help. I have a very old PC which has the operating system windows 95 on it. I have just bought a new compaq laptop and need to transfer my FILES across from my old PC hard drive. I have tried to save the files onto a memory stick and also tried to save onto a CD - rw but unfortunately my old PC doesn't seem to recognise these materials. Can anyone suggest how I can GET my files off my old hard drive. I cannot use a floppy DISK either as my laptop doesn't have a floppy disc drive.

Help!!!!

DebraDoes your old computer has Ethernet card? I KNOW you could network these 2 together... Did you install the driver of the memory stick on the WIN95?

Network the two computers if the WIN95 has a ethernet card...

Debra,
Please state clearly what you want to do here...the Win98 machine will not recognise anything from the new machine as the file systems are different
Win98 = FAT 32 ( cannot see NTFS)
XP/Vista = NTFS (can read anything FAT#@)
So basically your new machine will be able to read anything off the old machine...however tho old machine cannot read anything off the new machine....
More details and we can get you where you want to go.
Let us know ....and Welcome to CH !
