Answer 2

I wanted to change all my data from an old computer (c. 1997) to a new one a few months ago. I had no Internet access on it, the back up system had died, it had no USB port.... (Any of this sounding familiar?). I didn't have a clue what to do, but thankfully I have a friend who did.
He ended up taking out the hard drive and transferring all the data to another computer (one of this millennium) and then transferring all the data to this laptop.
It took a few hours, but it is possible. I think you are just going to have to dig in your pocket and pay someone to do it for you. It is too important to try messing around with yourself unless you really know what you are doing....

Answer 3

I would need to have more specific details about the available ports on both PC's, however, if all you want to do is tranfer files from your old computer to the new one I would just tranfer the old hard drive to the new machine as a slave drive.

Again, it is really hard to assist you without more details. How much data do you need to transfer ? What are the operating systems on the computers ?

If they both have USB connectors you can tranfer files simply by using a "thumb drive" .... they sell for under $20 & are very handy to have.

Answer 4

An USB converter plugged into a usb port is probably the quickest and cheapest option. You can pick one up online for around £10.

Answer 5

well depends on the file size, u could rip the hard drive out of the old machine and slave it onto the new machine or u could install a network card, or u could use a usb data transfer cable

Answer 6

I'm no expert, but could you use an Ethernet adaptor, plugged into a USB socket?
