so buy a new burner lor. or grab a thumb drive if it's just some documents.
if not, you could always take out the chassis and move the hdd over to plug in. when the com boots up, enter CMOS SETUP on your new com to auto detect, save, restart, it will appear as a new drive in Windows. copy over, shut down, move back the hdd to the old com, do the CMOS auto detect again in your new com and done. -
cannot la.. i think he oni have 1 drive on the other new system. if dats the case one system cannot have 2 system patitions working at the same time right? you copy from one, take out old hdd oso have to format the new one and install os to access it.Originally posted by ^tamago^:if not, you could always take out the chassis and move the hdd over to plug in. when the com boots up, enter CMOS SETUP on your new com to auto detect, save, restart, it will appear as a new drive in Windows. copy over, shut down, move back the hdd to the old com, do the CMOS auto detect again in your new com and done. -
Your old PC is window 98 or what. If yours is a Window XP, you can buy a micro vault and transfer lor. hope that will help you

Rip out yr old hard disk, set jumper to Slave (I think, refer to the hard disk manual for jumper instructions, if you still have it).
Connect hard disk to new com. It should detect it on startup and appear as a second drive.
Transfer data over... Settled.
If not, borrow an external hard disk from your friend or something, then transfer files over -

Brother Poolman,
As you have not stated what kind of data that you have, I assume your data can be transfered by using a 1GB thumb drive.
If you are not familar with PC stuff, then dun dismantle the hard disk as it may caused further unnecessary issues. -
hmm if u do not want to spend $$ on a burner,thumbdrive or do not know how to transfer a hard drive over,you can try to upload whatever files onto the net from old comp and then get the link and download it at your new comp?(well if those files u have are not bigger than 1.2 Gig in size and you are not like going to transfer over huge amount of data)
Well there are free sites like http://www.sendspace.com/ that allow you to upload files up to 1.2Gig and give u a link to download from,just send the link to your email account,access it from your new comp and it is ready for download,but well this method will take alot of upload and download time. -
super easy way as what someone has posted.
Transfer the HARD disk, HDD from the old PC to the new PC. then ok liao.
So your new PC may have 2 or 3 HDD. And can also install different Windows platform. Like install Win XP into the new HDD whereas maintain the old windows in the old HDD.

CD burners are quite cheap nowadays. Just go down to Sim Lim Square and request for a DVD/CD-RW combo. -
You need to set the jumper settings from master to slave. Not as easy as you think. Different HDD works differently. Copy and paste will be the easiest.Originally posted by nightzip:super easy way as what someone has posted.
