If you have alot of data, you can buy and esternal drive, or buy a second hard drive, and put it inside the machine and use it as a back up storage drive. You can buy a decent size hard drive online shipped for 60 dollars or less.

You get another memory storage device, such as an external hard drive, and you copy everything on your hard drive onto the external hard drive, and keep it safe. That way, if your hard drive crashes, then you can take it out, and plug your external hard drive in, and work from that.

I use acronis migrate easy. It is cheap, easy to use, and works great. Allows you to copy data from one hard drive to another that is smaller, exact size, or larger. It proportions the partition accordingly.

What's the best way to transfer over my files to a new hard drive?

The best way would be to create a ghost image of the existing hard drive, that has all your files and copy it, into an external USB hard drive or a secondary internal hard drive. Some ghost software packages only cost a few bucks, but basic versions can be downloaded for free.


How do you transfer pictures from an old computer that does not work to a new computer?

The best and easiest way is to pull the hard drive from the old computer then purchase a hard drive enclosure unit from somewhere like Newegg.com, Tiger Direct, or Target/Circuit City if they carry them. This way you can access the hard drive via USB port without the need for the old machine to be up and running. FYI: Once you have all the information off the drive that you need, you can use it as an extra external drive or even as a back-up drive to back-up your work in case of hard drive failure.

The easiest and most secure way to back up information stored on a computer is to do it yourself. You can do this by purchasing an external hard drive or flash drive and transferring the information to them.

No. The Only way to download demo's is to either pay for a brand new Xbox elite for 300$ and make sure it has a flash drive or you could plug a hard drive into the back of your Xbox and the file would be on your hard drive. But you could only play the demo with the hard drive in.
