September 26, 200223 yr I've got an old laptop with some flight planning software on it, I'd like to move the software to my main PC on which I run FS2K2, it's too big for a floppy and the laptop doesn't have a CD burner. Any ideas on how I can make the data transfer happen without being a networking guru? Thanks a lot!!!!!!!
September 26, 200223 yr If it's small enough to fit on a few floppies, use WinZip with the disk spanning option enabled. If not, consider a transfer via serial cable and a program like LapLink or even Windows' HyperTerm.
September 26, 200223 yr As Philip says, try doing a Windows Help search on 'Null Modem Cabling'. That might throw up some answers.Simon.
September 26, 200223 yr If both have internet access, zip it, upload it to an FTP site (I can loan you some space on mine) and then download it to the other computer.MikeOcala, Florida
September 26, 200223 yr Hi,if you are familiar with hardware, try to get a 2,5" to 3,5"-IDE-Adapter and just put your laptops harddisk into your PC... (Yes, it sounds easier that it is... ;-))Another way is to use a zip-drive connected to the parallel-port...Edit: Or, use a Memory-Stick connected to the USB-port (if you Laptop has one)Hope that helps!Greetings,Danny(from germany, so please be kind about my "english")
September 26, 200223 yr Thanks for all the responses, I'll take a look tonite and see exactly what I need to do. I think I have laplink somewhere - I'll look for it if I can't find it I'll look at some of the other options. Again thanks for all the suggestions.
