I Need Help Transfering All my music & Movies Into My New Lab Top From My Home Computer Could anyone help me and tell me
how to do this I'll Appriciate the Help Thanks

The easy way would be to burn them on disk then you can pop the CD into another computer and transfer that way.

what about a jumpdrive? i have two, use them (for music) all the time. i have two computers that i use, rather than download from each other, i transfer via jumpdrive. i recommend at least a 1GB if you will be using for movie.

How Do I do This Frome Limewire?

dash:


does your computer come with a CD burner?

Networking is the fastest way of transfering large amounts of GB of data.

Jump drive is a good suggestion also. I have 2 external drives.

Burning CD's or even better DVD-RW's is another method. I guess Zip disks or similar is another method (I also use.)

By default your LW files are saved here: C:\Documents and Settings\"your account name"\Shared

That's unless you changed the location. Another way is: Go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you. You can move them to a desired location after that by cut & paste or drag & drop. Then move them by the techniques suggested earlier to the new machine.

Wouldnt you need the computers to be connected in order to jump a drive? Im guessing he doesnt have any of that and may not even have a built in cd burner. since, he didnt reply back, Im only assuming.

I do have a cd burner but is not working right now but thanks for the help i really apricciated

for those (like ME) who are computer illiterate!!!

a jump-drive is reasonably inexpensive, and easy to use. just plugs into USB port. you just have to put it into each computer (one at a time) before you load it with stuff, just to make sure the computers recognize the new hardware. they come with their own little (program?). the best part you just drag & copy to it, (SAFELY REMOVE HARDWARE), then plug it into new computer. the 1GB that i have holds a LOT of stuff. and it's the size of a lighter.

i also have a 160GB external drive. (not so inexpensive) it has more room than my computer. again easy to use, USB port. just have to remember to (safely remove hardware), before you remove or turn off.

I think they're also known as flash drives but my partner has a 256 MB one & her sister has a larger one. Very handy. So keep in mind they come in different sizes & can be put on neck chains they're so small & very transportable. Here's some examples & links to descriptions http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/flash.ars/1

or this http://www.usbflashdrive.org/

i couldn't remember the other name for them. yes very handy, i also have 1/2 GB for smaller projects. even half GB has lots of room for music.

p.s. 1/2GB is a "Lexar". 1GB is a "Verbatim", both excellent, & both have lights to let you know they are working.

Re: External Hard Disk Drives: If you should consider one, get one with a large cache. I found out recently from Lacie support the reason my 250 GB drive is so much more quiet, so much faster & so much more reliable is they're built with much more cache than the 160 GB drives. Here's some descriptions of external drives, etc. http://www.computerhope.com/btips/hdd.htm But ignore the advert for Maxtor. I would very definitely not recommend Maxtor. Too many reports of them giving up well before time.

thanks for the link.

i have a seagate 160GB. can't find RPM info tho. i don't think transfer rate is fast, cause it took 20 mins to transfer my rock music in, about 4,000 songs. i have 87.7GB to spare.

my boyfriend bought it and installed it about 4 mos ago. he threw the box away, along with the stand. he never uses the comp. i had actually disconnected the thing, cause it wasn't being used. when comp slowed down i installed it again. since i loaded it, i hadn't turned it on till yesterday to cycle in/out some music. it's nothing more than a trunk for my (junk).

size matters, not necessarily speed. after defrag i have 85% to spare in comp. the only thing in here is music and pictures.
