how do I choose an external hard drive to work with windows 7?
I have an xp system now and bought a new windows 7 computer. I want to transfer files from old to new. How do I choose hard drive?
Plug in the hard drive on the XP machine and go to My Computer, after the drivers are loaded (assuming you're on the internet and it will automatically d/l the drivers needed), you should be able to see your external drive as a regular drive, and copy the files you want (don't cut and paste.. copy and paste). After the files are transfered, go to the Win7 PC and transfer files to the folders you want them in.
