Hi, I have an old machine (ME) and a newer computer (http://server4.103092804.com/Release3/linkredirect.php?h=42446,232732,1120180212) (XP). I would like to transfer some audio (http://server4.103092804.com/Release3/linkredirect.php?h=40722,232732,1120180212) files I have from ME that we made to XP.
Here's the catch. When I try to fire up the ME it just does these beeps. Like 1 second beeps with one second in between beeps. It hasn't exactly been in the best environment for a computer (http://server4.103092804.com/Release3/linkredirect.php?h=42446,232732,1120180212) so that probably does have something to do with it.
How can I make this work?
I did post this in another thread that someone was nice enough to help (http://server4.103092804.com/Release3/linkredirect.php?h=40282,232732,1120180212) me with but I can't see bothering him anymore. If you agree with what he told me to do could someone please explain it a little easier for a stupid idiot moron to understand. No really I can do this, just need an little coaching maybe or directions to a tutorial.
This is what he said:
OK, the easiest way to do the move is as follows, this avoids any jumpering and compatibility issues between hard disks:
Remove the hard disk from the ME machine.
Open up the XP case.
Unplug the device(s) on the secondary IDE channel, typically your CD/DVD drive.
Plug that cable into the old drive on the end connector. Attach the power, and fire up the XP system.
Copy (http://server4.103092804.com/Release3/linkredirect.php?h=42073,232732,1120180175) the files you want off the old drive.
Power down, remove the drive, and reconnect the cables removed from the CD/DVD.
Thanks in advance!
