do you mean just backing up data and you need help with doing that or do you mean making a clone of the hard drive and hence need some imaging tools like nortons ghost or true image by acronis or something to that extent also if you do a search on google for unattended that is a good one, its by sourceforge.net\n\nThat should help you out somewhat, I suggest you post back with some more info :)

use a firewire to move them quikly or if you want to do it for a little cheaper you can move the hard drive to the other computer and make it better unless you want both, then use a flash drive to move it in between computers, will take a while, but it is simple to drap the music files from the computer to the flash drive, then the flash drive to the other computer

you can fire wire the data depending on how new the PC is. Turn off your lap top and plug the firewire into both computers. As you turn on your Mac holddown the T key.This should open up your Macs HD as an icon on your PC's desktop (or maybe in My Computer) then you can drag and drop all the files in there. I have only done this Mac to Mac so see apple.com for more info.

Buy external hard drive. Move everything from your desktop there, then copy it to your laptop.\n\nor Setup a home network, so you can connect to your desktop from your laptop. Then you can copy everything directly from your desktop without having to buy another hard drive.

Get a jump drive. You can put files on it an move it to the other computer. Or you could burn a blank file cd and put all your files on it. Those worked great when i got a new computer. This is the quick and easy way.

you need to either do one of the many listed below:\n\n1.  get external/internal burner one for backup disc onDVD or CD\n2.  get a LAN line cable and network it transfering files\n3.  get a removable USB HARD DRIVE folder by folder\n4.  get a USB Cord that can transfer one PC to other\n5.  get PC with music and add Hard Drive to existing PC\n     (this creates C drive and a D or E drive added for big space)\n6.  get external Hard Drive and back up everything\n7.  get MP3player and transfer from space given slowly\n8.  get memory card that comes with reader or ya cam/PSP/etc

Yeah what that dude said. Connect them with firewire. If you hold down T on one of them when booting up it will boot as a hard drive, and appear as a drive on the other computer so you can copy stuff off it that way.

You could start in target disk mode if you have a firewire cable.\n\nConnect the two computers when they're off. Boot the new computer. Boot the old computer and hold down the "t" key until you see a floating firewire symbol. The old computer should appear as a disk on the new computer's desktop. Then you can transfer files by dragging and dropping.

there are several ways....over email, or >>>ftp>>>but you got to be on the Ethernet with both computers...

only with a special cabel.  I would suggest getting a jump drive (usb memory stick) and transfering the files that way.  If the HDD has crashed then you have a very expensive option.

did u install an operating system or not yet ?\n\nif yes, then open "My Computer" if u use windows operating system and right click on each drive and chose properties.\n\nif no, then the easiest way is to plug ur hard drive to another pc which has an operating system and do the same\n\n\ngood luck mate.. ;)

Very easy. Do you by any chance have a Usb on your old and new computer. If you do get a cord that has a usb plug on both side's. Then send data over.\n\nif not:::!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nEmail stuff over to other computer.\n\nif not:::!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nget a blank cd or dvd and burn stuff to it then copy it over to other computer.\n\nif not:::!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nMake sure your dvds and cd are RW (rewritable)\n\ni think my computer has a virus\n\nit keeps say if not::!!!!! kinda stuff what should i do

The easiest way would be to take the hard drive out of the laptop and hook it up to another PC.  There's no need to buy anything extra if you've got an extra bay available.  \n\nHere's a good tutorial for it:\nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_6030_install-second-hard.html\n\nWhen you're done copying, just unhook it from the data cables and power supply.  That's it.

Burn it onto a CD or DVD and copy it over.  Connect the two computers together via a network.  Use a thumb drive (up to 1 GB thumb drives are out there).

the easiest way would be to network the 2 together with a router if you have one and transfer the files straight from one to the other.\n\nYou can also do the Removable media thing as stated above ie: CD, floppy etc.\n\nand lastly, you can email em to yourself or I like to icq or msn messenger them as well.\n\nany of those should do ya just fine..*S*

get a NAS (network attached storage) device case.  hawking technologies makes a decent one.  basically you just enclose your hard drive in the NAS case.  \n\ntake your hard drive out of the current enclosure and put it into the NAS.

Install a router, to allow them both net access.\nThen install all the programmes and files that you need to keep, on the new machine...   and take anything that you don't want messed with off the old one\nBrowser favourites and bookmarks can be exported/imported from old to new.\nBy far the easiest way to move stuff around is after they are bother connected to the router, because you can make them visible to each other ("shareable").  Failing that, invest in a small "flash drive" - a portable memory device that fits in the USB port on each machine
