Hi David, Yes, you do, and I thought that the Easy Transfer software was awkward by comparison. Still, as you said, it is an option for folks. smile HTH, Rick Justice ----- Original Message ----- From: "David" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2011 7:51 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Question What kind of cord do I need
Hi Rick; Yes, your absolutely right, And as far as I know, You need to install software on the XP computer. However it's an option for folks. The copying to external drive is the easier way to complete the task. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rick Justice Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2011 7:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Question What kind of cord do I need Hi David, I omitted that option, since it is just as easy to copy and paste. There is a cable option with Windows Easy Transfer, but it's a special USB cable from what I recall, they tend to be a little pricey. I think they are called a USB bridge cable.

If you have a flash drive, or external drive, copy your files to it, and then connect the drive to the Win7 machine, and copy them in the necessary locations. Also, if the computers are networked, via ethernet cable and a router, then you can put the files in a shared folder, and transfer them over your network. Additionally, if you have a DropBox account, and you have it installed on both machines, then you can put your files in your DropBox folder on one computer, and get them from the same folder on the other machine. If you need more help, just sing out.
