You can either upload them to somewhere like photobucket.com and then they will be hosted online for you to retrieve from anywhere you like or you can save them onto a CD and then load them onto another PC like that.

About as much PC help as I can give I'm afraid.

Does your new PC have the capability of connecting to an IDE type drive - whenever I've needed to do this sort of thing I always found it easiest just to plug the old drive into the new PC and extract what I needed that way.

Alternatley as Stu said burn it to CD or if you have a network card in both PCs connect a crossover cable and transfer files that way.

As Mark says - this is how I have done it in the past.

Most of the newer PC's have extra hard disk drives - you should be able to remove the hard disk from the old pc and put it in the new one. There may be little switches on it to run as a slave.

Then it will be there on your new pc as the F drive or something :thumb:

Yep, Dunk and Mark have the best plan, if your'e not happy trying that yourself i'd be happy to come round and do it .... although can't do it until one evening next week.

Thanks for the help all but i might try stu's way of thinking 1st ( sounds a bit easy for me :lol: )
if i still have no joy then i might need a hand please :help:

Stu's won't work if either - you don't have a CD burner or you don't have internet access .. hence why I thought you had the problem in the first place ...

Don't know if you've got an ipod Leigh but if you have then you can use it as a removable drive and not just for all your Girls Aloud tracks. :lol:
