I have an old HP pc that I replaced with an IMac when the monitor went out. Now I want to get some files off the HP pc hard drive to my toshiba laptop and I just want to know whats the easiest way.

thanks

Burn to DVD save as a file format your mac can read

then delete from PC.

Open on Mac then save to Hard drive.

The method used depends on the volume of data to be transferred. Here are the 3 methods I recommend:

1. copy data to a CD or DVD if practical ( low cost solution )
2. copy to a flash drive = capacities from 4, 8, 16 and etc. are available depending on the
volume of data ( USB )
3. copy to an external hard drive if large volumes ( USB )

To transfer the data, simply insert one of the choices above into the HP pc, open Windows Explorer and drag the data you wish to transfer to the drive letter of the media.
Once completed, remove the device and insert it into the Toshiba. Repeat the procedure to copy the transferred files from the backup device to the laptop.

Hope this helps

Upload it onto an email and send it to yourself. Then open the email in the MAC and Download. Only for small files though.
