another easy way is to open up your old computer, locate your harddrive, which is usually below all your cdrom drives. Unplug the power and the other cable to it. Take it and carefully put it in your other computer. Look at the back of the old harddrive, there should be some pins and something about jumper settings. taking a pair of tweezers carefully remove the little jumper and then look at the diagram and put it in the slave slot. then plug in your old harddrive like before, but if you used the ribbon cable(flat grey one) find the one that is p;ugged into your new harddrive and follow that cable, should have another connector on it. Anyways plug it on in and turn the comp on, it should recognize the new drive, then you can keep it in or just copy and paste files and then remove it.

Hi. There are a few ways of doing this. One way is to copy/burn your important documents and other items (pictures, music files, etc) to a CD or ZIP disc and then copy them over to your new computer after you put the disc in the new PC. Another way is to make your old hard drive a "slave", if you or someone you know is computer savvy, and then attach it to the new PC and copy over whatever you want or need. You may also install the old disc in the new PC (again, as a slave) and access the data on it whenever you want or need to, thereby not having to copy or move anything. I hope that helps! Good luck!

Network them together. If you don't have a network in existence, connect the two with a crossover cable (that's a specially wired network cable). Run the network wizard to set it up, and make sure everything you want to copy off the old computer is shareable.

Burn the file onto the DVDs or cd. Then transfer to the new computer.

You can easily get data into new computer.
First open your old CUP.take the HD from it.now open new CPU and open HD.there is another slot where you insert your old HD.
when you start your computer there is another drive also include copy past from it.
I am always used this option to copy data from one PC to another PC.
