Feel free to stick around though, I look forward to seeing some helpful and inciteful input from you in the near future.
What the fuck are you talking about? He was given sound advice but now he's just playing games.
let's be honest: i got some okay advice in here, but yours was easily the worst and you know it
My advice was solid.
do you even know about computers?
I know they exist.

i'm not even sure about that anymore

Have you settled on a method yet, Alex?

I still think you should just buy one of these:

i think i've just been waiting in vain for chud to come to his senses and bring a reasonable idea to the table

Chud gave you pretty good advice, Alex. It's not his fault if you don't follow it.

My 70-year-old mother upgraded the RAM in her laptop.

i think it's high time chud starts to just level with us instead of constructing unending walls of artifice

Seriously, taking out the hard drive is easy. And once you do you can transfer via SATA to USB cable.

How about you use the 3.5" floppy drive and move your files across bit by bit, one disk at a time. Requires patience and manual dexterity.

Another option is to spend $50 on a USB backup drive, they usually come with software to use at each end to backup and then restore. You can then keep the drive as an external backup device.

chud, i can see you're not taking this seriously. just forget i started this thread.

Alex isn't interested in real solutions, Sarge. I think what he really wants is for someone to do it for him.

My method is considerably cheaper than using an external hard drive, and will only require one step to transfer to the new computer. An external drive will require copying the files twice if you ultimately want them on the internal drive of the new machine.

you're not gonna hoodwink me, pal. just give it a rest.

I think Chud is hoping Alex dies from electrocution while trying to pull his hard drive out.

i'm just glad i've still got it. chud had become a bit of a moving target lately.

Do you even own a computer, Alex?

Post by **Alex** » Mon December 29, 2014 9:33 pm

no, i don't

It's best to just move on, Al. Try to forget about those old files and just make new ones.

Post by **Sgt. Crackpot** » Mon December 29, 2014 10:44 pm

Take photos of the old ones to retain the memories. Then burn the old PC.

Sarge, why are you ignoring my post in the BBC thread?

Because I'm on holidays. Tech support duties will resume once I'm back at work in the new year.
