i have 180 approx albums to transfer from a laptop to a pc. what`s the best way to do this?

Question

the pc and laptop run off the same router connection.

Answer 1

buy an external hard drive by USB connection i ihave 200gb one for $100 or so. i use it to back up my music and videos and i hook it up to my laptop when i want to watch something, but since my laptop is old (windows98) i only use the external and i cleared off the entire hard drive on the laptop so it runs faster (only has 128mb of RAM!!)

Answer 2

Assuming music albums, if you have a CD recorder, recordable discs are dirt cheap if you buy in bulk. Better yet, buy or borrow (unless you already own) a DVD recorder. If nothing else, try setting up a network. If you have a network jack on both machines, a simple crossover cable will eliminate the need for expensive network gear.

Answer 3

I usually use AIM to transfer things. Just have 2 AIM screen names and do a file transfer. You just sit back and watch it do all the work. It's usually pretty quick but if you have a Gig or more it could be up to 3+ hours.

Answer 4

Assuming the PCs are both accesible on the same network, I'd use Synctoy from Microsoft. It works rather well.

Answer 5

If they are networked, you can just share them from the laptop. If they are not networked, you can get an external hard drive and move them over that way.

Answer 6

Provide details! Are they both on a network?
