Data Transfer PC to PC with USB Port?

Dear Sir,

I don't want to use flash disk for this job. i want to transfer my data through USB cable because your said procedure will take time for copy paste. if its not possible with USB cable then can i use serial port for this job??

Well, the original posting has laid dormant for several hours, so the transfer cannot be time-dependent or urgent. Otherwise it would have been done by now.

If the data is text only, it is possible using the serial ports, but it is hardly trivial to do so.

Ethernet File Sharing is MUCH easier.

Off subject, but: WHAT does your permanent chicken curry crack mean,or pertain to?

Dear Sir,Thank you very much for your help. i will check in our local market for purchase. meanwhile please give me procedure for Ethernet cable because i have already one cross cable & one straight RJ45 cable. please

What you are apparently wanting to do is called 'peer-to-peer networking'. I think you can do it with just a cross-over ethernet cable if both computers have ethernet ports. Google 'peer to peer network' or 'P2P'. Are you using Windows? What version?

What type of network switch or router do you have? Is it very old? Are you using windows? If so, which version? You will probably need 2 straight cables, the last time I needed a crossover cable was while using an old 10mb switch about 15 years ago.

You want to move the operating systems, too? I don't think you can do that.

Just switch the hard drives.

I have tried the usb method using one of the devices for the job. It involved installing software, activating it each time, navigating to the folders via an unfamiliar 3rd party system. There was a lot of configuring to do. It only worked sometimes, and then slowly. Annoying.

I plugged in ethernet to the pc, and into my router, and apart from assigning sharing preferences to folders, that was it really. Folders can be used as if they were on the same pc, slightly slower access times. Windows XP

You could buy 1 of these cables HERE on a popular auction site e**y.

It is listed as

High Speed USB 2.0 Data Link Cable PC To PC Data Transfer Easy Copy Transfer

but then you have to wait for it to be deliverd so that might take too long as well

I just plug in a USB HDD and boot a Linux cd. I run dd and create an image on the HDD. Then I put the cd into the other machine and attach the USB HDD with the image on it and boot into Linux again, dd the image to the internal drive and then reboot without the cd and the USB HDD. Done.

If it fails, then I can redo the transfer from the image I still have on the USB HDD.

I have also used USB HDD adaptors and removed the drive I want to copy and plug the removed drive into the USB adaptor and then used that as my master "image" for the new PC.

Another method I have used on bench setup of new machines is to boot into Linux from CD on all new machines and the imagable machine. I share the HDD of the imageable machine and mount the share on the new machines and then dd the share to the new drives. All of this is done after the imageable machine has been setup and had sysprep.exe run on it to make it "fresh" if it is a new Windows setup. If it is a new Linux setup then there is no need for sysprep.

Google realy is great why not try doing some searches instead of asking here

Dear Sirs<

Thank you very much for your your comments> i have prepare cross over cable as per provide procedure and transferring data as per my choice

Thanks to all

So, how about using your RJ45 cross-over cable and a copy of 'Laplink' or one of the similar 'free' transfer utilities on the web?

You get everything transferred - takes a while of course. depending on the spec of the slower machine.
