Re: need good ideas for transferring hard drive contents
I think that there are several steps missing or assumptions being made here.
1. Does Scott have a second machine?
If so, and IF he has disk space on it, he could copy his current
disk contents over there temporarily. It would help to have laplink
or some other direct connection or MKS Tools.
2. Does Scott have any kind of tape backup device?
If so, he could dump an image of the disk to tape, and restore from
that. He would need to make a bootable system floppy containing
fdisk and the tape software and some other stuff maybe, beforehand.
3. If Scott has none of the above, make the system floppy, and buy a bunch
of additional floppies and start copying. :)
Good luck,
Vince
