There are programs that will let you clone your whole drive to your new drive, like Drive Image by PowerQuest, so you'd be starting right where you left off. This would require installing your old hard-drive as a second disk in your new computer. Or, similarly, you could install your old drive in your new computer and install your programs from the installation files and then transfer all the associated data. This is much much faster than using floppies if the file sizes are large. It takes a little studying to install a HDD, but definitely good knowledge to have. There's other ways too, that I've never tried, like using other internal/external media, networking, etc... I assume you're not talking about a laptop. wily
