How do I transfer files from a non-working PC?
I am going to buy a new computer, but I have some pictures from a digital camera on my old computer that I need to copy off. I have no backup of these pictures and my old computer won't boot up into Windows anymore. I used a DOS boot disk and was able to find where the pictures are, but the files are so large that I don't have a way of saving them to a floppy disk and I don't have a CD burner. What I'm wondering is if there is a way to hook up the old, non-working computer to another working computer to transfer the pictures over, or do you have any other suggestions? The computer is so old that I hate to spend the money to take it somewhere to have someone pull the pictures off if it's something I might be able to do myself. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
When you get the new computer, you can easily just move the OLD hard drive from the non working machine and plug it in as a "Slave" in the new computer. (Most computers these days will allow up to 4 such drives counting the main drive and any CDRoms, Tape Drives etc.) This "Slave" will be permanently available and any files can be easily copied from the old to the new drive. (it might be a good idea to get a tech to do the installation, but really, anyone with a minor understanding of the internal workings of a computer can do this for you if you feel that doing such things is beyond your own capabilities. )
I do this all the time and find it a great way to make sure I haven't missed any files during the transfer process. I can then even leave the hard drive in the new machine for several months until I am sure that all files have been harvested from the old drive.
A note here: Copy only letters, spreadsheets and files or pictures which you created and not program files or configuration files. Copying configuration or program files can make programs stop working and could crash your system.
