Well we got a new laptop and now I will be using our old desktop to do such things as photoshop only and general web use, as well as it will be a dvd and music burning setup. I have to clear allot of stuff off it because it is just terribly slow with as much stuff on it as it has now.The thing is I have a ton of software, and about 100gb's of images on the pc that I need to backup but really don't know the best way to do so. It has a dvd burner, but its only 1.1mhz with 512 ram ( I have a gig in but the bios only supports 512, its 10 years old:tdown so when it comes to burning dvd's be it data or movie it takes forever, not to mention with as much stuff as I have it would be slightly costly to burn that many dvd's. If I could just transfer the stuff directly to the laptop I could burn all of it to dvd and just deal with the cost because I have to have the stuff, allot of the images are weddings I have done and I have them on dvd but I keep all the images for 2 years as stated in the contract with the wedding party so its nice to have 2 backups in case disaster happens to 1 of them. The laptop burns stuff super fast, so burning it with it wouldn't be that big of a deal.
Is there any way to do a usb to usb connection and drag and drop the files from one to the other maybe? I have never had to do this because in the past I would just pull the HD and put in a new one and transfer stuff I used onto the new HD through master/slave setup, but now the old pc is IDE and the new is SATA of course. What would be the easiest way of going about this problem guys? If I left anything out just ask:tup:
Thanks!
