If you have done some computer troubleshooting and repair yourself, you can directly transfer data from the old hard disk to the new hard disk . Connect the old hard disk to the computer with the new drive with the secondary IDE cable. Set the jumpers , so that the new drive is configured as the master and the old drive is set as the slave. When you switch on the computer, you can directly transfer data between the 2 drives, using the copy command. More details at http://fixit.in/transferdata.html

You would take the hard drive and put it in the other computer if you still want all your files.
If you only want to transfer the OS, you just download it again and install it on the other hard drive.
And if you don't have room for another hard drive in the new PC, you use an EXTERNAL Hard drive. Which could be found at BestBuy or Futureshop if your in Canada.

back it up onto a DVD and transfer it onto your computer. If you do not know how to transfer things just ask me, I'll check often.
