I wish to transfer all the accumulated DATA on a hard drive from an older computer to my NEWER one. Can this be handled proficiently by someone who "knows what they're doing', . . or am I asking for trouble. Obviously I don't want to lose/destroy anything . . .and want everything in the same place (?). Is this an operation that generally ' can be done / goes smoothly ' ?
I have about 25 G's of info to transfer ( from pics to Outlook Express files) to the newer 160G HD. What should I pay to have this done. ? Again, am I asking for trouble ? Thx. B.Applications will need to be REINSTALLED, and the operating system can not be transferred in this fashion successfully. Data files can be done in a variety of ways and without problem. Outlook Express has it's own methods.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q270670Please give me some examples of "Applications". Don't need to transfer the Operating System. Went to the LINK provided, but mostly Over My HEAD. Are you saying Outlook Express can be transferred, but in a different fashion, by someone adept at following specific Microsoft procedures ??Quote
