How the heck do you use a crossover cable to transfer files from old PC to the new one?

plug one end to one computer and the other end to the second computer.   Right click on my network places and click on properties.   Locate the local area connection icon and right click one time on the icon.   Click on properties and then locate the internet protocol (TCP/IP) and click one time to highlight.   Select properties and type in 10.100.5.1 and select okay.   For the subnet mask type in 255.255.0.0 .  Do the same thing to the other computer but use 10.100.5.2 for the ip address.  Oh, make sure that you seelect use the following ip address.  Restart both of the systems and see if you can see the other computer through the my network places.   I just hope that both of the systems are in a workgroup.  If you still can't see the other system on each of the computers share the drive by right clicking the c: drive and selecting sharing and following the directions.   i hope this helps.  the other option is to pull out the drive that you need things off of it and make it a slave in the second computer.  Or best answer just get a flash drive and copy the files to it and be done with the headache.

Run the Files & Settings transfer Again and click on this is the new computer and when it ask you for the location of the back direct it to the cd rom or where ever you have the files and let it do its thing.

You have to reformat the disk as a HFS+ file system, known as "Mac OS Extended(Journaled)".  Use Disk Utility to reformat.  If you're looking for transferring information from the PC to the Mac/Mac to PC, use the FAT32 file system.

Looking at the age of your PC, I fear that your options are very limited. I'd suggest using one of the three methods (depending on the size of your data and how much CPU speed/RAM you have.\n\n1. Use a USB Flash Drive/Memory Card - This method is good for smaller data transfers up to 1GB or so, since your operating system is 98, I'd say most memory cards and USB flash drives would reconize your computer.\n\n2. Set up an LAN network between the two computers. You will need to get a ethernet cable and a Network card for your old PC (might cost around 20 dollars if you dont already have one). Now go to control panels and network to set up a network (email me if you need help with that). \n\n3. The most expensive method is by using an external hard drive. These cost a couple hundred bucks though would probably be the fastest way for transfering data 10GB or higher. Though if you want to buy one, make sure it is compatable with your old pc.

You need to buy a null modem cable, this is a cable with 2 9 pin D female connectors on each end. You attach each end to the serial / COM port on each PC. \n\nYou can then transfer files between them by running hyperterminal on both PCs and configuring the COM ports to the same parameters, try:\n\n9600 baud\n8 bits\n1 stop bit\nNo parity\nRTS/CTS hand shaking \n\nIncrease the baud rate settings on both PCs together until you start to get data errors. \n\nYou can use Z modem protocol in hyperterminal under the transfer menu to send files back & forth.\n\nIf both of your PCs have RJ45 network ports then a P2P network using a cat 5 crossover cable would be a much simpler solution.

You need to have ethernet card on both the pcs and get the same connected through cat5 or cat 6 with cross over cable. or you can have both connected through serial cable.

Use a floppy disk or a CD(use a burner).You could also send yourself or somebody else an e-mail Whit the files attached and then just retrieve when you have your new computer set up.

Since you no longer have a PC the least expensive way would be to take it to a shop and have them burn the files you need on CD's.  If you had or possibly have access to another PC the procedure is pretty straight forward.  Connect this drive as a slave drive.

Check the hard drives.  Normally their will be a little plastic tab that you can move to different sets of jumper wires at the end of the hard drive.  These determine whether a hard drive is consider the master drive, a slave drive, or is assigned master or slave depending on which connector on the cable it is attached to.  There will normally be either a small chart or some labels by the jumpers that show where the tab needs to be for the drive to be master, slave or cable select.  \n\nRecord the settings for each drive.  Then set the tabs to match the setting of the old drive.  (Meaning if the drive in computer A is master, and the drive in B is cable select, the set A to cable select and B to master.  Then swap them, putting them on the same connector the old drive came off.\n\nHopefully then the PCs will boot up with the swapped drives

Crossover\n\nThats the kind of cable you  will need for sharing between 2 computers connected directly..\n\nafter that is done...you will need to set up Both of your computers to enable File and Printer Sharing./

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.

Each PC requires a NIC (network connection), then you'll need either \na single crossover cable \nOR \ntwo normal network cables and a switch.

Do you have a CD-rom burner?\n\nYou can just burn all your files to a CD and then use it as a data CD. Then you can just slide the CD into the new computer and copy the files from it. \n\nOr you can just put all your files into a file hosting website like http://www.xdrive.com and you can use their file hosting server to upload all your files from your old computer. Then on your new computer, you will need to get internet connection again, and then you can just download them back.\n\nOr you can even try and setup a network connection between the two computers and just transfer the files over.\n\nContact me through my profile if you need step by step help, but I will need more information from you as well.

If you buy a USB transfer cable you can.  But if you already have a network connection between the two computers, it's just easier to share the necessary folder and then copy the files to it.

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.

you can use a software such as Norton Ghost to make an image of all the stuff in your old PC and put it into the new PC.
