I'M TRYING TO TRANSFER FOLDER FROM OLD COMPUTER TO NEW COMPUTER USING A USB FLASH DRIVE/SONY.
HOWEVER, WHEN I PLUG IN FLASH DRIVE TO USB ON OLD COMPUTER NOTHING HAPPENS. CAN I DOWNLOAD A DRIVER ONTO THE SONY USB FLASH DRIVE USING MY NEW COMPUTER AND THEN TAKE THE FLASH DRIVE AND PLUG IT INTO OLD COMPUTER TO INSTALL THE DRIVER I NEED FOR THE USB FLASH DRIVE? PLEASE DON'T LAUGH. I'M SO FRUSTRATED AND I REALLY NEED SOME HELP.
I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO TAKE THE OLD COMPUTER SOMEWHERE TO HAVE THIS DONE, IT MAY COST TOO MUCH. I have been sitting in the background looking for a solution and 'bingo'.you gave it to me.
This works, as you outlines, and it works fine. But, every time I remove the flash drive and stick it back in, I have to repeat uninstalling devices in device manager and reboot. This is no problem for me considering the length of time I have spent trying to resolve this. I have an old system; Win 95 and Win 98 that I run Autocadd 11 with DCA. Both systems crashed and I lost a ton of stuff. The original disks and CDs went the way of a fire a few years ago and I have been trying to reconstruct the operating systems from another old pc along with Colorado tapes.
If you are versed with these old systems and config/autoexec, etc, I would like to hire you!!!Newton.
