Is a memory stick enough to transfer about 300 music files from Xp to a new machine using Vista?

The website says nothing about ability to use a cross-over cable. Do I need to buy an external hard drive?????

It depends on how large the memory stick is. You're better off burning them...

CDs hold 750MB of data.

DVD holds 4.7GB

You can burn your music to DVD it doesn't matter than the format is DVD. DVD holds more data than a CD and probably more than your memory stick.

Don't make it more complicated than it is.

You can if you want too. But you can buy a 1 gig thumb drive or flash drive to move those files also or back them up on a CD-R/W etc..
that should be fine with a 2GB memory stick. That is how I did it.

I would avoid Vista like the plague. Remember Windows ME? Same problems - same BS hype. Stick with XP until MS works out all of the bugs (or gives us a better OS)
Why don't you just network the two computers? You should be able to easily determine how big your music folder is and what you'd need to transfer it. I use a storage drive for my vids photos and tunes.
Depends on how big the memory stick is, usually 300 songs can run from anywhere up from a minimal of 2 gigs. So you could easily burn them all to a disc them take them off the disc and put them on your new computer, or you can transfer say 100 songs at a time on the usb stick.

External hard drives are handy to have around but for you there is no need for it. A cross over cable is pretty much useless too unless you really want one.

if you have anymore questions i would be glad to help just send me an email

note: not all ibm laptop has a windows start button. you can use an alternative shortcut ctrl+esc at the same time to bring up the start button. depending on the video, you may need to download the codecs for it. example, wmv files are windows movie video files.

Installing Windows XP on a new HP laptop which comes with Vista?

Im planning to purchase the new HP DV6000 series notebook. However, the laptops only come with Windows Vista as an O/S which i do not want. It is possible for me to use my friend's hp laptop boot cd (which has windows xp) to install windows xp on to my new laptop?

Installing Windows XP on a new HP laptop which comes with Vista?software

No. The boot CD from your friend's laptop most likely has an OEM version of Windows XP on it. That means it's only licensed to be used on the machine that it came with. One way to tell is to look at the CD. If it says anything like "for distribution only with a new PC," then it's definitely an OEM version.

Whether it's OEM or not, using your friend's CD to install XP on your laptop would be pirating. Don't go there!

If you want to install XP on your new laptop that came with Vista, you're going to have to bite the bullet and shell out for a new retail copy of XP.

Installing Windows XP on a new HP laptop which comes with Vista?vincent

The only way to put XP on a Vista machine is by formatting the hard drive and installing a full verison of XP. XP cannot go on a the second dual boot b/c the newer verison has to be loaded last. Your friends CD will most likely not work b/c it will look for hardware that may not be installed on your computer.
It can't. The CD or DVD will not functioning by default. The manufacturer usually includes program to identify if that machine used to recover or install the OS...is the correct target.

Will microsoft update vista in the near future?

I'll tell you this. I absolutely hate windows vista. it looks a lot softer and nicer but it lacks a lot. will microsoft come out with some sort of software or upgrade to make your hardware(printer, graphics card, etc) and software(older games) with vista or is vista gonna suck forever? the reason i ask this question is because i need a new laptop and sooner or later i won't be able to choose the option of having xp on my computer. and installing xp is a hassle.

It's not up to Microsoft to release drivers for printers, graphics cards, modems, etc. They have been unfairly blamed in this. It's up to the manufacturer's to release drivers that work with Vista for their products. Many companies have been slack in this even though they have had the specs for Vista for years.

Backward compatibility for games would be good but it's unlikely. Microsoft will look to move forward and new software will be created to replace the old, just like new games will make you forget about the old ones.

The 1st patch SP1 is on the way...Or just wait til Windows 7 comes out.
you should've stuck with XP for at least another year... history repeats itself
I sure hope so, because I don't like this piece of CRAP!
OS X is way better than windows, but thats besides the point....anyway there will be a service pack 1 coming out next year for vista. until then good luck! and the sad news is there is a SP 3 for XP which is suppose to make XP run 10% faster while vista stays the same.
Vista SP1 is in select beta testing at present and is scheduled for full release in the late spring or early summer of 2008. Even then it would be avdisable to wait another couple of months after that to ensure it is stable and not full of bugs.

You can follow some of the more popular blogging sites that has news on the new features for Vista SP1. Here is one for your perusal.
