If both your Dell and the hard drive have USB ports you may be able to download directly. Other wise you may purchase an external drive and load the data to that. The external drive almost certainly will connect by USB.

How to recove Seagate external hard drive data?

Probably, the new operating system cannot recognize your Seagate external hard drive. You can connect the Seagate external hard drive to another computer to copy data to another device. If the problem still exists, you might need to perform data recovery.

HDD2189 F ZK01 Need the info to be transferred to an external hard drive. What is the easiest and least expensive route?

Is the 60gb Toshiba hard drive still working? If so, the best route would be to just buy a usb external drive. Somewhere like Bestbuy or Walmart that carries them at pretty reasonable prices. This way, you can use it not only on that system but others as well. That would be the cheapest way for "external".

External hard drive slow

Well, an external harddrive is always slower than an internal one. A USB-port is checking on a regular basis for other devices, which might got hooked up. It's a common mistake a lot of people oversee. So while transfering data, there are other tasks / jobs done at the USB-port, slowing down data-transfers.

Iintend to change my sata hard drive to a SSD hard drive.How do I format before change

When you install Windows on your new SSD hard drive you can then transfer data from your old hard drive using an USB hard drive adapter or install the old hard drive into an USB hard drive adapter case and use it as an USB external hard drive after you have transferred your data to your laptop.
When you connect the USB hard drive adapter to the laptop, the laptop will see it as an external storage device, you can then open the various folders anf files and copy them to your new hard disk.

Hi,
You can transfer the data files only from the old laptop to the new one. You cannot transfer the installed applications/software. Software are required to installed again on the new laptop afresh.
To transfer the data you can use external portable hard disk, which can be connected to the PC using any USB port (just like pen drive) and you can copy - paste the required data to the external disk just like you copy data from one partition to another. After copying the required data, you can connect the external drive to new laptop and copy the data to the new laptop. You can use external drive of any brand/ capacity. However, it is better to have an external drive with larger capacity, so that you can transfer the data in one go.

Hope it helps! Good Luck! Thanks for using Fixya!

My pc tells me that I'm running out of hard drive

You can use either.

You can also use external portable hard disk, you can move all your software and stuff to it.

Better would be installing a new operating system to new hard **** with larger capacity, it will make your system fast.

You can also fit hard disk in your computer PC cabinet, you will just need to set it as "Slave" or secondary hard disk, to do this, setting is available on the hard disk.

You can use my computer to explore the external drive and cut/paste folders from one drive to the other. And sometimes the external hard drives have software already installed or come on a disk to do this in a automatic way. If you want to copy the complete drive to the computer goto my computer. Find the external drive. Right click and select copy. Then find a folder or create one and right click then select paste and the enitre contents of the drive will be transferred. If you want to transfer windows settings and programs that have been backed up with windows file transfer wizard...just use the transfer wizard and select the external drive.
