Answer» [glb][/glb]So... here is the deal...I just bought an old computer that basically has EVERYTHING I need to use it, but I have run out of space and no I cannot DELETE or get rid of anything. I did do all the maintanance on it. I was wondering if there is a way I can purchase a new hard drive and transfer all the files from the old computer hard drive to a new hard drive? CAN I? You can do it. Quote [glb][/glb]I just bought an old computer that basically has everything I need to use it, but I have run out of space and no, I cannot delete or get rid of anything. Tell us more about your computer, hard drive SIZE, operating system, processor and the amount of physical memory fitted. If you buy a bigger drive, as I did, get ONE which runs at 7,200 rev/min with an 8MB, or bigger, drive buffer. Is your old drive worth keeping? It usually depends on age. If you backup ALL of your data to removable MEDIA, CDR or data DVD, how much space do you have left? This is important when considering the C: drive partition size for your new drive. You can then make a drive image of your current drive and 'restore' it to the primary drive on the new unit. BUT the partition sizes have to be carefully choosen as you cannot restore a large drive image to a smaller partition. On My 80 GB drive I use 10240 MB for the Primary drive C: with XP Professional US English with MUI, and Office XP, NERO 6 and so on. |
