I have a new computer. The only common mode of file transfer between old and
new computer is floppy disk. I have a ton of files I must transfer. Can I
insert the old hardrive into a USB clamshell enclosure, make a USB connection
to my new computer and drag and drop files from the old "documents" to the
new "documents" folder?

How would the new computer read the old "c: drive"? As c: or as E: (I now
have a cd writer)? Would there be "computer confusion" between the two c:
drives?

Basically, would I screw up the new computer?

Thanks in advance
Hal

the new computer would read it as your last drive, and in your case should
be E:

don't worry, it's easy and there will be no computer confusion .
