New movie made on Vista!!

[One]

Mark,
I beleve it is an over priced one use cord that is just USB rev B on both ends but if you are going to have both OS's it might come in handy.
JMO (Wal Mart)

I found USB chords at a dollar store and all they are is 4 wires if you were in my situation it would be $2 and some electrical tape.
( I was experimenting with shutting down multiple computers from the UPS alarm )

Mark,

Yes, if you went to the trouble of hooking up the other monitor, keyboard, mouse then you could buy / make / use a crossover Cat-5 cable connected to the network cards in each computer.

More often than not, no matter which method you use, you're likely to find that you will still have to "Feed the monster", that is, reload / install major programs that write data to the registry.
These files are not going to be copied to your Vista machine during your normal copy routine.

Yeah...bummer.[B)]

The external Hard-drive worked great for me. I hooked my old computer up (it has slow USB 1.1) and spent many hours copying files and folders , then hooked up my new computer, and copied the files from the external hard-drive. It was a lot faster loading the files to my new computer, since it has USB 2.0.

I should have known better than try to load my new PC from 75 CD's. Stuff was scattered everywhere, and I could not find things easily.

The External Hard-Drive is the way to go.[:D][:D][:D]

There was an abrupt end, but I used "fade out" for the sound. That's what disc jockeys used to cut a song short, lol.

Another great video Mark! I have an extermal hard drive also.
quite often I back-up all files and folders on it. It does so quickly and I know If I lose data or have a crash that it is all there.

Yes, and since my Compaq has no place for an internal 2nd drive, I use the external one., I even used Ghost to backup my whole computer to the external hard-drive!! I hope it works when needed!! [:D][:D][:D][:D]
