I thought there was a device that I could buy to download all of my stuff from my old computer and plug it in to my new computer through the USB Port in the front?

hey dude there is a way of doing it is by using an ethernet connection.do you have network cards on the two computers? then you r infor some technical work .you connect the two computers using cross-over link ..i have been using this for years
this is what you have to have
-3 to 4 meter network cable already fitted with rj45 on both ends
then you have to get you fingers working here
cut the cable into two
check the end connections of the wires and note the arrangement of the wires by color ..ie brown -1 brown white-2 upto the 8th wire .now its time to cross them over
i cannot explain to you in detail from here because i need to give you a diagram but this site will guide you to the end http://www.littlewhitedog.com/content-8.html
later after connecting the two computers go to create new network connection set it up and save the config settings to a flash disk run it on the other computer and there you are you will be able to transfere all files without a problem ..100mbs connection ...no ip configourations

buy an external 2.5 inches portable hard drive casing and also a 2.5 inches hard drive.
ask the shop person to help you put the hard drive into the portbale hard drive casing.
ps: check if there is any driver cd for the hard drive casing and also the cable to attach the hard drive casing to the usb port of your computer.
note: better connect the cable to the front usb port of the computer.
cheers and good luck!

Use an external hardisk... I have 1 which the memory size is 80GB... I won't recommend using thumb drive/ pen drive coz the memory capasity is small... FYI, the external hardisk can be plug in using the USB port... & if you are using Win XP, it will automatically detect the external hardisk when you plug it in, so no need to install it...

a program called PCMover, comes with a usb patch cord..It moves everything over, but some stuff that requires licensing may have to have the codes added manually to restart them on the new computer. www.pcmover.com

I had the subject lastnight once I as much as date. It took properly over 20 minutes to to get %40, yet I in basic terms cancelled it and re-put in it lower back and it took in basic terms a couple of minutes. you're able to attempt that out and spot if it works. yet, no remember if that's something along with your cyber web equipment you're able to attempt to verify in case you're able to browse around along with your PS3 on the internet.

Flask drive/stick. Might not be able to get everything at once, but you'll get a lot of it at a time. Saves a lot of work!
