Try removing the case cover on the old box. May be enough to get by until the files are moved. Unless you want to tell all about that old box and start repairs?

Once you have the files you can't lose moved over, maybe moving the HARD DISK over and using FAST for the rest will work?

Xp on the old box kept freezing up, it was kinda old and in the way. Time for a new puter. Got one coming UPS this week. In order to transfer files and some of the settings and the old box starts freezing on me again, do the files that do get transfered go over or will I have to start from the beginning with the wizard. And it will happen. Sometimes the freeze comes at different intervals like 2 hours sometimes 2 mins.
