Hard Drive Failure
Just got up and running with a new hard and had to reinstall
everything. As a result, I lost all my favorites. Could someone send me some quilting links. A few weeks ago, I got one for a site that had lots of quilt blocks. I used one to make a baby quilt. Linda PATCHogue, NY |

Linda PATCHogue, NY I don't know about quilting links, since I usually just Google, but I sympathize about losing your HD, Linda. What a pain! I've done that, too, and I know it's difficult. -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas my ISP is earthlink.net -- put sfoster1(at) in front http://home.earthlink.net/~sfoster1 |

Just a possibility--could you take your old HD to a computer specialist and
see if anything can be recovered? I've been through this crisis, one of the best reasons I can think of for backing up regularly! But I still don't do it often enough, maybe three or four times a year. -- Carolyn in The Old Pueblo take out nospam to reply If it ain't broke, you're not trying. --Red Green If it ain't broke, it ain't mine. --Carolyn McCarty If at first you don't succeed, switch to power tools. --Red Green If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer. --Carolyn McCarty "ALZ" wrote in message ...

ok, i have it on good authority from both jess and paulette that i need a
lan cable. so is there a specific size cable with specific ends required to do the transfer of data between my two computers? i did try the end of my modem cable and it seems to fit nicely in the network card thingy but will it transfer data? all info is greatly appreciated. i see i set my return addy incorrectly on here too, argh. must fix that right way. jeanne "nzlstar"wrote ... i got this new puter with a network card and old one has a network card too. so what kind of cable do i need to join the two and get the info off old one? bet i dont have one in the house but if i knew what i needed would be helpful. i love being able to ask for the right thing in those shops. make me sound like i got a clue what i'm doing, eh, lol. jeanne |

Jeanne,
What you need is either of these two things: 1] a cat-5 "cross-over" ethernet cable with RJ-45 ends. If you tell that to a computer guru or electronics shop they should give you what you need. Be sure you say "cross-over". You probably don't need a very long one if the two computers can be placed side by side. Plug one end into each computer -- the computers should *not* be also connected to the Internet or a DSL modem or whatever at the same time. 2] If you have a network hub with at least two ports in it, you can use two regular cat-5 ethernet cable with RJ-45 ends. Just plug one end of each cable into a computer and the other end into the hub. The hub does *not* need to be connected to the Internet or your DSL modem or whatever -- just the connection between the two computers is enough. Windows should recognize that the two computers are now a "network" and let you swap files.Contact me off list if you need help. I used to get paid for this -- now I do it for fun and for my friends for free ;-) -- Anne in CA "It's not having what you want; it's wanting what you've got." -- Sheryl Crow http://home.covad.net/~arudolph/annes.htm "nzlstar" wrote in message ... i got this new puter with a network card and old one has a network card too. so what kind of cable do i need to join the two and get the info off old one? bet i dont have one in the house but if i knew what i needed would be helpful. i love being able to ask for the right thing in those shops. make me sound like i got a clue what i'm doing, eh, lol. jeanne "Carolyn McCarty" wrote in message ...
