I downloaded files from old computer, on 3.5disks,how to put them on new computer?

Question

A:\ install didn't work

Answer 1

Going from a 3.5 drive to any other resource can be tricky if your new computer doesn't have a 3.5 drive. You have a couple options. My first suggestion would be to head to an electronics store and pick up what they call a "jump drive". These can be really cheap or really expensive depending on how much memeory you need. If the information fits on a 3.5 disc, you only need very little memory and are probably looking at about $5. Maybe $10 if you get ripped off. These jump drives are nothing more than a memory stick with a USB connection on the end. Stick the jump in the USB for the old computer, and retake the files.
If the old computer is gone, try a local library. Most of them still have a machine or two with a 3.5 drive on them. then transfer the information to a blank disc.
Option number three, call a Kinkos to see if they have a 3.5 drive in the store. If they do, they can transfer the information super cheap to a disc.

Answer 2

Most PCs now dont have the floppy disk. it would be hard for you right now. One thing you can do is try to get back to the old computer and save it to your flash drive. Or you have to buy a floppy disk

Answer 3

Buy a new a:\ ( you have to be able to access it )

OR

Go to school or some place that have PC and email or transfer it out of the disc.
Buy a USB flash drive and copy it on to there

Answer 4

If you have a floppy drive on the new machine,insert disk and ,at the command prompt type copy A:*.*and add the filename you wish to copy to on your root(C)drive,,, :-)=
