[QUOTE="Ekim, post: 913354, member: 122956"] You could use an IDE/SATA to USB adapter and connect that way. All you would have to do is pop out your hard drive, and connect it to the adapter (if you have one). Another alternative is to get a network cable (rollover) and connect each computer to your LAN and just enable file sharing on both computers and transfer files that way. In addition, i would NOT recommend transfering a large amount of files via wireless.. it is unreliable and takes FOREVER! As for acceptable file extensions, if you don't have Open Office or Office 2008 (or a program that reads .doc/.docx extensions) you obviously won't be able to access the files but they can of course be placed on the hard drive. Personally i prefer Office08 to Open Office. I feel 08 as more functionality PLUS its prettier :) Hopefully this helps! [/QUOTE]
