transfer data from a SATA external hard drive to a IDE internal hard drive
Hello, fellow techs, I'm tryinh to transfer data from my old laptop SATA hard drive to my linux desktop IDE hard drive (would like to make a duel-boot)but transfering the data at the moment has more priority
i will get this postings right!!!__ ya- xp pro with sp3 and ubuntu 11.10 /xp pro (2.5 sata )is on the external drive which is a Sabrent usb 2.0 portable
Linux can read almost any file-system, so it is really simple as that: Plug in the drive and copy your data.
If you have a question or problem doing that it would help if you ask the question or tell us your problem. This community is knowledgeable, but we still aren't mindreaders.
You should be able to find the win laptop using nautilus just go to network, Then browse the network to find machine, and select the machine. The win machine must have file sharing enabled.
Do as Tobi said
