If you are a legitimate owner of the software, you should have the original install media(floppies, CD, etc). If so, uninstall the software from the original machine and reinstall it on the new machine.\n\nThe only way to transfer the program to a new PC would involve make an image of the hard disk (use Ghost or equivalent) and load it on the new PC... Then load the operating system UPGRADE onto the new PC. There is no guarantee that the program will run under the new operating system, however.

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).

Easiest way is to use the utilities available from the hard drive manufacturer.  All new hard drives come with a CD that gives you the option to copy everything from your old hard drive to your new one.  Plug in both drives, boot from the CD, and copy.  This is probably the best way as it doesn't use an operating system to copy contents over to the new drive (the operating system locks/hide certain files while in use).  It would, of course, only serve them well to provide such a feature.

Just put your old hard drive in as a slave drive and then copy the files you want to the new hard drive. You obviously cannot get programs (unless it is just a single exe. file and nothing else) because it has to be installed and it is a different operating system.

1. Unplug all computer connections.\n2. Take off computer case.\n3. Find the cord going from your existing hard drive to the motherboard. There should be a free connection there somewhere.\n4. Plug in the new hard drive into that empty slot.\n5. You should see a 4 prong power cord coming from your existing hard drive. Find another one coming out of your power supply and plug it into your other hard drive.\n6. Screw in your new hard drive.\n7. Shut case and plug cables back in.\n8. Restart computer. Your computer should recognize the hard drive regardless of OS.\n\nPlease note that while these instructions work fine for installing hard drives on my computer, they might not work very well for yours. I'd get a second oppinion before you go tinkering w/ your computer if you've never done it before. Also, consult your computer manual for more detailed instructions.

Just transfer through USB

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.

another thing you can do is  take out your hard drive and put it in someone elses computer copy the data across to their computer, put you hard drive back in you pc install windows and then either setup a network and copy your data back or again take out you hard drive and put it in their computer and copy the data across again.\n\nIt may be time consumeing but it works

You can take off the laptop harddrive and add it to the new desktop pc as another harddrive, then you can access the added harddrive from the desktop. \nI assume your laptop file system is the same as the desktop, if not the desktop must be NTFS.

Backup Your Data immediately, before trying anything.  Burn it on CDs/DVDs, floppy disks, USB flash drives anything you can get your hands on.\n\nThen invest in a new hard disk the prices are very reasonable nowadays.\n\nRemove the old one and change it to a SLAVE drive.  Install the new one as MASTER.\n\nFormat and partition your new disk.\n\nInstall operating system , applications.  Use the old disk as a temporary disk space.  when it dies throw it as you have all the data.\n\nThis is purely from my experience.  You can try any number of things but Hard disk drives have moving parts and moving parts are suceptible to wear and tear.

You do not have to put your drive from the old computer into the new computer...\n\nA good way is to use the direct conection wizard from windows. This program allows users to connect thier computers using various methods. You can use your parallel ports (old stlye printer ports) or serial ports(old stlye comm ports). \n\nA other way is to set up a small network between the two machines by using a RJ45 crossover cable. This cable is used in the Newtork Ports(Now used for Cable/DSL Service) of both machines. You will have to use the network wizard to do this.\n\nI think using a small network is a better way^\n\nYou may need to obtain more information as to how to do my  suggestings becase Windows XP AND Windows ME both do things diffriently.\n\nThe Guys here should be able to walk you through the process if you indeed choose one of my methods metioned above.\n\nI can tell you that Windos XP should take the lead(Host) for setting up any connection over the Windows Me machine.\n\nIn windows Me you will have to goto\nstart>programs>Accessories>\nCommunications>Direct Cable Connections\nThis is for the first Method.\n\nGood luck.

First of al U need to check which OS U r using.....\nIf it;s XP then U need no drivers for using the drive:but if it;'s 98 then u need to instal the driver software first.\nNow u can plug in the drive, into the USB slot of U;r PC.\nnow in the system tray it will show the device if U;r PC has detected it.\nnow when U open My Computer, U'll see the icon;double click on it and transfer files into it.\nU cannot transfer program from one PC to another unless U have the setup file for tht program(ie an exe file).\nIf U have the setup file then transfer tht to U'r USB drive as said earlier; then U can plugin to the new PC and install tht program in it.\nTht's it.

If both machines have USB ports, transferring files with a jump drive is probably the best method. Jump drives are available for 20 bucks or less and are very useful.
