Moving to a new computer

by James Poole on August 16, 2008

Well my new Sony VAIO laptop has just arrived so ive spent the last 4 hours transferring everything over from my old desktop PC, I can’t believe how difficult and how long the proves took. The first thing i wanted to do was transfer all my Firefox plugins, bookmarks and passwords, i used the FEBE Firefox plugin to backup and transfer all my Firefox plugins and passwords, works like a dream!

As for moving all my files over, Well i tried uasing windows built in “windows easy transfer” program but it was anything but easy, it took nearly an hour to calculate how many disk would need to transfer everything before it finally told me that i would need 32!!! 32 blank disks!
luckily with a little help from a friend i used the network transfer option and with alot of tweaking and general time consuming tasks we finally got it all transferred. It did give me a good opportunity to delete alot of stuff i no longer need and decided to clear up my seemingly endless list of cookies.
