The enchanted broomstick Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Well i just got me a laptop for storing all my music on in my bedroom because im really tired of the amount of CD's i have and frankly a laptop has much more uses to it than just storing and playing the music. Right the problem is i have 1000's of tracks all on an XP based computer and i need to get them onto the other computer. Ok so the simplest way would probably be burning a load of discs and copying them over to it but i would really like to avoid that if possible. Is there some way of using a cable to connect the two computers together so that the files can just be easily transferred across? any help would be great. stu (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 If you have network cards in both PC's, just get a crossover ethernet cable and plug them together (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br3n Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 nah easiest way is to zip each song into a seperate archive and put each one onto a seperate floppy disk, or email them to yourself :D (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johneh Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 (edited) could you not zip/rar em all up and fit them only on to a couple of cd's? that would be the option I would use. :lol: Edited July 26, 2005 by MC-Bolo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The enchanted broomstick Posted July 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 i zipped a big load of them but i have about 15gb of music i need to get over. I figured im just gonna buy a maxtor 80gb external usb hard drive that seems to be the easiest option and will keep my laptop free. stu (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Just out of interest mate, where are you gonna get the HDD from and what price. I'm looking for an external HDD too. Cheers (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 If you dont wanna buy a network card. Take the hard disk out the 2k machine and plug it in the xp machine as a slave and copy everything over (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
