Why did I bother trying to help, all you (less) can do is hurl abuse at me questioning my knowledge. but it sounds like both computers had a cd drive, hence using the cd writter to transfer data.
But you posted in post number 10 about the hard drives, Margaret didn't mention it having a c.d. rom until post 12, so you were working blind. Unless your clairvoyant you couldn't have even assumed that he had a rom drive.

Not that it's any of your business, but I have had more years to do with not only using and repairing computers within the electronics industry than you have had on this earth, (some of us have been working on computers since the 60's).

If you are 'in' the computer business, then I would not go around bragging about:-

That's exactly how we used to transfer data between 2 drives at my last job, who needs to screw the drive in....
That is an absolute cowboy job and fits exactly with your standard of advice. It may be just about acceptable for lancsdave to do that at home, (Dave that can lead to many problems and death of the drive), but for someone getting paid, to produce such shoddy workmanship? that is a disgrace!

Perhaps that is why you described it as 'your last Job'?
