Reply #1: Zip drive works fine with xp [View All]

I have an Iomega Zip drive. With xp you don't even need the Iomega software to install the drive. But if you have "thousands" of photos you will drive yourself crazy installing them onto zip disks for transfer and moving the zip drive back and forth from one computer to the other.

Probably the best way to move your files is to borrow a USB flash drive, copy the pics to the flash drive, plug it into your new computer and load them that way, fast and easy.

Or you could take the hard drive out of the old computer and install it on your new computer temporarily as a "slave" drive, then just copy and paste the photos to your new drive, remove the hard drive and put it back in your old computer.
