Donny1020 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 just recently bought a new prebuilt computer. was wondering if there is a way to transfer my hard drive info to my new hard drive? i tried connecting my old hard drive to my new computer and anytime i go to start up it starts loading windows and just shuts down again.

BranHorse Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Are you wanting to boot off it or just recover the files (music or docs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny1020 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 i would like to be able to keep all my music and docs so that i do not have to redownload everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny1020 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 someone told me to use dropbox and that that might work.... but it can only transfer 2gb at a time.... my 1tb HD would take forever to transfer lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Short Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Could get a sata to usb connector if you don't want to open the case up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It lets you hook up your old hard drive to a usb port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
