Transfering 10g with DVD's would take some time.
You could just pop out your old hard drive, get an IDE to USB cable and connect your hard-drive to your new computer and it will be accessable as a removable media device
Simple as that

in basic terms an uneducated buffoon might ask such questions. The CPU you communicate of is yet an exceedingly small interconnected area that belongs to the plenty bigger make certain CPU it is interior the FLP. the quantity of power it is interior the CPU on the FLP, is comparable to the quantity of light debris gathered interior the universe, in line with 2d. As with easy, easy is by no ability previous, nor does it cut back or die. each and every 3.3 zeptoseconds easy is recycled by the FLP, then discharged into the ninety 9 %. contraptions (10 the 12 power). And as all of us comprehend a CPU isn't something extra then a small faction of this recycling of light. so which you would be able to desire to assert a CPU is dieing, is suggestions-blowing, and stupefying. I recommend you reread your CPU instruction manual that became into supply by the Querinerrs, examine the Chronon article area 654

Angry is half right - even if only the NEW PC is running XP, you can use FAST (even if the old is running 95!!)
FAST can use serial, ethernet, and other methods [check HELP]
Otherwise, get a network 'crossover' cable & connect between them, make then part of the 'same network' and transfer between systems.
For that much [10GB] a DVD would work [need 2-3], but not any other 'disc' solutions.
OR JUST INSTALL the old drive in the new PC & transfer the files, ro just leave it that way [2 drives].

If both 'puters are running Windows XP, use the Files and SettingsTransfer Wizard (click start > all programs > accessories > system tools.)
BTW - 10GB is about 10,000MB. A floppy disk holds about 1.44MB. Don't think ol' dwightl's suggestion (above) to transfer the files by floppy disk (even if you zip, compress AND flash all at the same time) will do you much good. Unless you've got several thousand floppies lying around somewheres and a few years of time to kill.

if you have a dvd-rw drive, burn the files to blank dvd-rw's. it would take about 3 of them.
install the hard drive as a slave drive, and copy the files from that drive to the new drive while your in windows.
use a usb flash drive to transfer the files.
burn the files to blank cd-rw's if u dont have a dvd-rw drive.

you can temporarily take out the old HD and put it into your new one and then copy everything over. Or you can can do a DVD r back up and transfer it that way, too.

Take the old hard drive to be as a data (secondary) hard drive to the new machine would do.

if you have a floppy drive, zip drive or flash drive save the file to one of them and transfer them that way.
