1) Create a new private Yahoo group for yourself and make sure that the File Area is enabled. That will give you 30MB to work with. Enough for about 21 floppies.\n\n2) Most Internet access I've seen in public libraries still have floppy drives, and most likely they will not be locked out. Take yours to one of these.\n\n3) Upload your files to your new Yahoo group.\n\n4) Go home, download the files, burn a CD if desired.

I would try reinstalling the driver, but first check just to make sure that the CD works in another computer.

There are many ways to transfere data. If you have a network hub or switch you can connect both PCs and try it. If not you might wanna use either a ethernet crossover-cable check this out\nhttp://gccprinters.com/support/doc/crossover.html\n\nor you can use a usb computer-computer link\nhttp://www.windowsnetworking.com/j_helmig/usbmain.htm\n\nor finally you can just use a flash drive.

Your best bet would be to just reinstall the operating system onto the new computer using the original cds.  Then just copy the files you want to save onto a cd or transfer through a network.\n\nIf you dont have the original cds, you can use a program like partition magic, which allows you to completely copy one hard drive to the other, although this would require you to put both hard drives in one computer.

Just note on getting the "exact" information from your old drive to a new drive... Manufacturers like maxtor have a built  in hard disk copy program in their MAXBLAST utilities, as do many other hard disk companies. You have to get the disks working on the same computer though... and only the newest widescreen laptops have 2 harddrives! You can use a utility from the manufacturer, like MAXBLAST to copy the entire contents to a "new" drive, by getting asmall laptop-to-IDE\nconverter and plugging in the drive to a Desktop, and running the program from a floppy ( newer versions allow you to run in windows, iff you don't "boot" from the new drive).\nyou could copy the image to a big drive in your DESKTOP, and then, put in your other new laptop drive, and copy the image back to the new laptop drive.\nIf you got 2 cable converters, you could plug both the old and the new laptop drives, say as master and slave on the \ncable normally connected to the 2 CD ROMS, and run the programs. Another approach is to use a program like Norton GHOST, and make a CD 'IMAGE" of the first drive. Then install th esecond drive, and use a floppy with GHOST on it to copy the CD to the NEW drive.\n Partition Magic may also help you get an image of the first drive....\n If you have a CD burner, and the information fits on a standard CD ( the image is compressed to 1/2 the size of the  original data, so that with 700 megs, you are copying 1.4 gig... ) If you have a DVD burner, then you you can copy \nabout twice as much information as the DVD burner capability,\ndepending on whether it is dual or single layered...\n You can also copy the Partion magic, or GHOST image, or\nother similar utility's image, to an ETHERNET connected harddrive, and use GHOST or whatever to copy the entire contents back to the laptop. ( It is a bit difficult to do unless you are network guru ). You could also copy the image to an EXTERNAL harddrive attached to the laptop, and then copy the image back...\n\nIf I were you, I would ask around at local laptop repair shops, to get their input on what "they" use and recommend to quickly replicate laptop harddrive contents...\n\nhope this gives you a few more ideas to play with...\n\nrobin

been there too. cd rw disks are unmanagable. i cant find a decent brand that i dont encounter a problem. first you have to format it which takes too long. and when you use another computer it wont be recognized. so what i do now is just use cdr which is much cheaper than rewritables. i just transferre my previous backups to cdr. i used the original drive to read and write to another media. or you can transfer the old cdrw to your new computer. it is not advisable to have a combo on a desktop cause if it breaks then you lost both functionality.

First of all let the first jumper as it is then remove the jumper of 300GB hard disk. Remove the CD drive cable from cd drive and connect it to 300gb hard disk. and resart ur computer. if it is able to read 300 gb harddisk.....then shut down the computer and connect the second loop of mother board to cd drive.

First determine if the CD-ROM driver is installed. Put your CD into the CD-ROM and give it a few seconds to spin up. Type "d:" and see if the prompt changes to "D:&#92;". If so, type "setup".\n\nIf your CD-ROM is not accessible, the next thing to try is to check/adjust the BIOS settings to make sure that the CD drive is configured as a "bootable" device. This step differs from one computer to the next but the process is similar. Re-start your computer by pressing CTRL and ALT and DEL keys all at once. When the computer restarts, hit "F2" (or on some machines it is "F1" or "F9" or "F10" or "DEL" - sometimes the splash screen says what to do to reach the setup screen). From there you should see a menu that says something like "Boot Order" or "Bootable Devices". Select this and make sure the CD-ROM is listed. If not then click through the options and select the CD-ROM when you see it. If possible, move it to the top of the list. Leave the CD in the drive and reboot the computer. It should either start the CD setup program when it reboots or ask you if you wish to boot from the CD (say "Yes").\n\nIf none of that worked, AND you have a floppy drive - use another computer and download a bootdisk with generic CD drivers from bootdisk.com. You can use any one. The Windows 98 boot fits on one diskette and will work fine. Take the diskette you just downloaded, put it into the floppy driver in your laptop and reboot the laptop make sure you leave your CD in the CD drive). When it restarts it should bring up a dos window and hopefully your "D" drive will be accessible. If so, type "D:/setup" and your WIndows Install (or system restore if that's what you have) should start. If there's no setup.exe, do a directory of the cd disk by typing "dir d:&#92;*.exe" and you should get a list programs. One of then should look like "setup.exe" or "restore.exe" or something like that. Run a program by type it's name (ex. "D:&#92;RESTORE.EXE").\n\nI used "D:" as the disk example. If you have more than one disk device or partition, your CD drive might be "E:".\n\nI hope this helps. If you manage to get your CD drive recognized AND you have the restore disks that came with your laptop you should get good results.

It's not possible unless both computers are networked.\n\nBetter copy it on a floppy or CD. Else upload it to the internet from the source PC and download it into your PC.

Yes that works fine, under your burner software there should be an option to make a data cd or a cd for files, something along those lines and you can copy whatever files you have on there up to the space available on the CD, if you have a lot of information your best bet might be to make a network between the two computer and transfers the file those ways and then theres no hassle in burning cd after cd, just drag and drop basically. just setting up the network will be the tricky part.\n\nIf you have a network do the following if not ignore the rest of this.\n\nIf you have an exising network at home make sure both computers are connected to the network and then setup a home or office network on your computer by going to my networks on the desktop of your computer or it might be on START-->MY NETWORK or START-->CONTROL PANEL--> NETWORK CONNECTIONS and then from there on the left you should see my network and then in there you should see create a home of office connection. Follow the steps and leave the part where it says MSHOME, then it will prompt you to restart.\n\nWhen you restart go back to the computer where you want to transfer files and go to my computer and then right click on your local hardrive and go to properites, then go to sharin, then click yes you do understand the meaning of it, then there you can click on share this drive and click on the let other user modify files.\n\nThen on the other computer go to my network places and you should be able to see the drive of the other computer there and then you can drag the files you want from there onto that computer.\n\n\nGood Luck

Introduction:\n\nThere are thee different parts to a hard disk installation. You need to physically install the disk, tell the computer it has a new hard disk and finally configure the disk to work with your operating system. All of these points will be covered in detail. \n\nSetting the jumpers:\n\nOkay, so you need to get inside your PC, unscrew the screws that are holding the thing together. These are normally found around the edges of the back of the case. The number of screws can range from 2 to 6 screws, and all of them need to be out to gain access to your base unit. \n\nOnce inside, you will see a heap of cables and a lot of circuit boards, now don’t be scared, you can do this!\n\nRight, we need to prepare the hard disk. Take it out of any packaging it may have, and look carefully at the label on top. There should be a section on this label concerning jumper settings, these are very important. If you are installing the new hard disk and removing the old one, you can ignore this setting. However, if you are adding the new hard disk to the existing one, you need to change the jumper settings to slave. The jumper is a small piece of plastic with 2 metal contacts inside to connect two pins together. It is usually located next to the IDE and power cable connectors on one side of the hard disk. It will be set to Master as default, you need to look at the label on the top side of the hard disk and find out where you need to place the jumper to set it to slave mode.\n\nIDE Channels:\n\nOkay, lets talk IDE channels. This is where it can get a little complicated. There is a ribbon cable plugged into the back of your original hard disk. There should be one other connector on the cable, this may already be connected to your CD Rom drive/DVD drive or CD Writer. If not, just plug in the spare ide connector and away we go. Move onto section 2.\n\nOkay, so, if you’ve got a CD Rom drive/DVD drive or CD Writer, we need to utilise the other IDE connector on the motherboard. You should have had another IDE cable supplied with your CD rom drive. This will plug in on the motherboard directly above/below where your first IDE cable is located. It will only go in one way, so be careful as there are pins involved that if broken will render your computer useless. Once connected, we need to decide where we want to put things. \n\nFor CD rom drives, I would place the CD rom drive on the second IDE channel (set as master) and the extra hard disk set as slave (see above) on the first IDE channel. I will write another guide about choosing the best IDE channels for your peripherals later.\n\nBios Settings:\nOkay, so now you’ve physically connected your drive, its time to tell the bios that we have a new hard disk. You need to enter the bios (basic input output setup) when you boot up your computer, this is usually done by pressing del, F1 or F2 when prompted, around the time when the system is checking RAM. \n\nOnce in, you will be greeted with the familiar blue screen. Most motherboards have an IDE autodetection option, you need to select this by using the arrow keys and selecting with the enter key. \n\nThen you need to select autodetect and select your drive as and when it finds it. \n\nThen, save settings and exit the bios.\n\nPreparing the disk for use:\n\nOkay, now to configure the hard disk. The easiest way to do this is to use FDISK (fixed disk utility) You need to drop into dos mode for this, once there, type FDISK and press enter. \n\nYou will have a menu. At the top of the menu, it will say current fixed disk 1 or something, you need to change to fixed disk 2 – just select change disk and select your new drive (should be fixed disk 2). Now, just to double check, we need to select display partition information, there should be nothing there. If there are partitions defined, you have selected the wrong hard disk. \n\nNow, you need to make a new primary dos partition, select this option from the menu, it will ask if you want to make it

look for programs to make bootable CDs on the internet. You will need to enable the BIOS to boot from the CD.

Well, without a cd burner you are not going able to get anything onto a cd. So... lets go the next best route. Get a usb hard drive, and put everything on that and then you can keep it on that or dump it onto the new computer. But without a cd burner, you cant get anything onto a cd.\n\n-------\nA usb hard drive will cost you around anywhere to 60 to 100 bucks, now depending on how large your photos are you might be able to get them onto like a flash drive then can get up to 2 gigs and a lil higher but still run you around at least 40 bucks and up.\n\ngood luck

Just burn it as a data cd. It should be fine you should be able to re-install it from the disk you make. Also put a word file with the serial if it required a serial # to install a full version on the cd as well. Thanks

you need a cd drive.  Get an External USB Drive.
