Transfering large files to a new computer.
When I get my new machine in about a week, I want to transfer about 6 gigs of audio files to the new computer from the old. I could burn 10 cd-rs, but cd creator wants to truncate many of my file names. What is the best way to do a direct transfer. Anyone... anyone? Bueler? Thanks in advance.

That seems easy enough to me. I was also told to do it by networking the two computers. I'm wondering which would be easier.- I WOULD SAY SWITCHING HARD DRIVES IS ALOT LESS COMPLICATED THAN NETWORKING. AFTER YOU COPY THE DATA FROM ONE DRIVE TO THE OTHER
YOU CAN DETACH IT AND RETURN IT TO ITS ORIGINAL SYSTEM.WHAT A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY
TO FORMAT IT AND REINSTALL THE OPERATING SYSTEM, THEN NETWORK THE TWO TOGETHER,THEY SHOULD WORK HAND-IN-HAND.........

If I want to take the hd from the old computer and temporarily install it in the new, would there be a problem recognizing it? I am thinking I may have to change some jumpers on the drive to make slave for the transfer. Anything else I should look for?
