There are a number of options open to you depending upon which version of Windows you are running. A floppy disk has far too low a capacity to do the task but you could consider a usb flashdrive if you have usb or even an external hard drive or burner. Depending on the computer, you may also be able to create a wired network between the two computers and do it that way. Do you have a wireless connection at the moment? If so, then that too could be used to copy files, folders etc across. If it is merely photos you wish to copy across then consider one of the many free photo hosting sites and copy them into there before copying them back. There is also the option of running Windows' Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. If you need a hand PM me and I can talk you through the various options. |

Save them on to a memory pen and then transfer them. They are pretty cheap today. Rosalind |
