Transferring files from one HD to another - HELP!
Discussion
The background of the story is as follows:
I effectively melted my processor and my computer died.
I've had it upgraded now, with a new hard disk with the old one as a slave (with all of my stuff on it), new processor, more RAM etc etc.
Is it possible to transfer files that WERE on the desktop on my OLD HD (slave) onto my new one.....
...because I can't seem to find it.
If you can't then I'm really screwed as it had my websites and MANY MANY files on there.
TIA

What op sys is it
Steve
In windows 98 it should be in the Windows Directory a folder called Dektop.
In XP it will be in the Documents and setting folder under local setting then your using name folder. Then desktop.
But you will have to go into the Folder options and view the hidden files and folders. if you show all including system you can then do a search for the Desktop folder

Thanks Steve, will try that after I've transferred My Docs over.
I'm doing bits at a time, some stuff I don't want but I'll look into that, cheers.

Most HD manufacturers have a utility to migrate the contents of 1 HD to another, e.g. Western Digital's is called DataLifeguard (and is very good BTW).
