Files to and fro

[mrapoc]

Basically I wanna put my music files from my old pc onto this one. I think ethernet will work but I need to do it without swapping the screen too many times for convenience reasons do i have to do file transfer wizard?

Just the network wizard and enable file sharing

 

[mrapoc]

hmm i did that yet i cannot find the new pc on the network...i can find the old one though - on the old one

Just pull the hard disk from the old one and mount it as a slave on the new one.

[mrapoc]

is that the easiest way

 

[FarFarAway]

is that the easiest way

Umm probably not but it would be the quickest

 

[mrapoc]

So what would be the quickest way and how do I do it? I tried doing the network but I could only find the computer that I was on at the time on the network

 

[Toxcity]

The quickest way has already been said.

Take the harddrive from the old PC and connect it to the new one as slave...

I would of thought this to be the easiest. Seeing as there is no screen swapping involved.

Good luck.:worship:

okey dokey, ill do that tonight:worship:

thats probably the quickest way unless you have a gigabit network

and also quickest in total practical time if you are not up to speed on networking, waiting for answers on forums to find out, messing about with network wizards and file sharing - could take hours or days.

Pulling a disk from one machine and sticking it in another - 10 minutes, tops.
