Ok, I just got a new laptop as my old one is dying.

Is there anyway I can link the two laptops together so I can transfer my music and photos?

i don't have one of those external hard drive USB things or whatever they are lol.

You can but it takes HOURS. I finally gave up and used my 2GB flash drive, which was amazingly faster.

Oo ta thanks.

and I should add that my CD drive in my other laptop doesn't work.

Yeah the quickest way would just be to pick up a cheap flash drive (the smaller ones are usually under $20 and can be found at Best Buy and even WalMart). Besides, that way you have everything backed up in case you ever have to do this again. You'd only need the USB port for that, which I assume works...?

Yes, one out of the four USB ports work LOL. I think flash drive is the way to go!
Thank you =o]
