Confirm that both interfaces are ide or what each box has.
Serial ATA interfaces are also available as are combinations.
Photobucket's bottom line marked "IMG Code" under the pic thumbnail should allow the curser to turn into a hand and when left clicked it should popup a yellow copied balloon for a split second saying it was copied into ram memory. Alternately you can right click when hovering over the words "IMG Code" and choose copy shortcut from the drop menu.
Then in the post screen with the curser where desired, I just do CTRL-V to paste the link or you can do the right click and paste from the drop down menu.
Your copy and paste functions (CTRL- C and V) are basic windows functions and should always work as they just access ram memory, no settings required.
Just in case, with a new computer do all your Windows updates. I have had over 200 updates on some new computers depending on the dates they were built.
BTW, to what media were your backups written to????
OH BOY :amazed: i better find somebody that know's computers and let them do the transfer,if i try that i see a huge FUBAR happening.
On the photo bucket deal i will try again,it worked on my other lap top,and on my desk top computers,and this new one has been doing updates ever since i got it :smash:
I consider it a bargain, considering he comes HERE to use MY shit in his efforts, not some damn Geek Squad crap at BB/CC type joint....kids that know a little bit and fuck up the machine even worse, some times.....
I dunno, seems like for ME anyway, every damn time I run some damn Norton/McAfee type program....THAT is when the machines go crazy and lock down and don't respond, go to the death screen mode, won't boot....always SOMEdamnthing.....for instance being with Comcast they run A/V software on the servers or some such crap, and so I been naked for over 2 years now.....wife is paranoid though.....I save my cool pictures to the thumb drive....so that's the backup...other than that, I got nothing t loose.....emails?? so what??...
:zzz: I had someone from MSFT tell me the reason FFox is so much faster a browser is that it's not loaded down with all the 'add ons'.....which I certainly don't miss one bit....
like pix file formats.....gotta be kidding, must be a list of 20 ways to store a pix....for me it's .jpg or forgetaboutit.....dumbasses....it works well for documents too.....good enough to read anyway, the one I HATE is that Adopey outfit....that reader is the most clunky damn flickering POS to read anything on, it's pathetic....freeking nitwits....:amazed::cussing:
