Hie, i have an old laptop whose battery has basically gone so it just keeps switching off. It won't startup on mains power alone neither (maybe i could change some settings?)
I was wondering if there was a way of getting some of my programs from old to new laptop? I installed the progs (dreamweaver and other web creation progs) a long time ago so dont know where the installation cd's are now :(
any help or ideas on starting up from mains or transfering the data appreciated

most programs need to edit your registry, so a simpy copy over the program wont work, as the necessary amendments havent been made..
you could try booting up your laptop from your old hard drive |

that's what i thought. otherwise i'd just copy and paste office or vista or something right!?
and what do u mean by boot from old laptop? (And it works fine btw, just that it doesnt stay on for long so practically can't use it) If i could run it as a desktop (direct from mains) then i would..but it seems to look for battery power when only on mains and switches off after a short while. |

i meant trying moving the harddrive to the new laptop

that's beyond my scope, but thanks for the help anyway :)

You can get adapters from Maplin and the like to connect on to any hard drive and plug in to a new computers usb port. You can then access the old drive as if it were a memory stick and run program from there.

Not Magic Flea's, obviously :-) |

best bet is to take the hard drive out, buy a hard drive enclosure (about a fiver on amazon) and use it as an external hard drive as an when needed.

i bought this one and it works fine. obviously only fits 2.5 inch sata drives so if that isnt the drive in your old laptop its no use. |

I discovered this earlier if you don't have the CD key for any of your programmes (great if you have Windows pre installed onto your machine):
