My old computer won't connect to the monitor (which is why I bought the new computer) so I can't run the Files & Transfer Wizard. I've got a serial cable to connect the two PCs but you have to run the wizard from both, not just the receiving computer. I've been assured that the hard drive is fine, it's probably a problem with the motherboard on the old PC that stops it working with the monitor (cables and graphics card have been tested and are fine). Can it be done through the cable without using a monitor on the old PC? Otherwise, would it be possible to put the old hard drive in my new computer (there is a slot for it) and transfer files that way? I had a look for instructions but it all seemed very complicated, going on about partitioning the drives etc - is all that necessary? I didn't really understand it. What does that do? At the moment I just want to get what's on my old hard drive onto the new one. Please help! Thanks...
