[quote=Damian;463120][quote=Electra;463116] If they were networked together wouldn't solve anything for me if I had a crash.

Networking means to link the computers together using wifi or ethernet cables so you can transfer information you need from one box to the other. To save you burning stuff to disc etc.

But, and I mean this with no offense, if you don't know that, then you will never figure out how to do it!

No offense taken. I never did any of this stuff. Hasn't been my job. Actually I do have ethernet cables but hadn't gotten so far as to transferring anything. I also have a router which I could have used to connect the PC's up so I could just use my DSL with both instead of having it installed separately on the secondary...but that wasn't what I wanted to do. They aren't exactly situated close to each other physically so It just became easier to do it the way I am doing it. I'm sure my cats would love more cables to chew on, they have already chewed through four or five. Now if you could tell me a way to keep them from destroying wires..that would be a huge help lol

Because we worked on the same things there aren't too many programs I need to transfer over. Mostly its files I have worked on since January...everything else was already on his computer. I also have three extra hard drives to connect up as well. I have no idea what's on them yet. Maybe they were backups..just don't know.

If the router method isn't doable then the other easy way to transfer files without doing any networking is to just buy an external hard drive. Plug it into one computer, copy data to it, then unplug it and connect it to the t'other one and transfer that data to where you need it.

I was thinking of doing that. Drav left several hard drives he had plugged in. I just have to check and see what's on them and then maybe I can use one of those. Don't want to destroy anything he was working on.

That deters my male cat but the female cat is fearless and nothing deters her. She rips up my toilet rolls, has pulled my curtains down and whatever I have to eat she wants some of it. She also has a habit of walking over my keyboard to get to her favorite seat on the window sill.
There are a dozen better ways she can get there but she likes to be annoying.

In some cultures that's probably considered a tasty treat...kind of like
crispy crunchy termites on a stick.
