Hi!
I just purchased a Dell Dimension E310 & it doesn't have a place to insert a floppy disc. I have documents & files that were left on my old computer & I don't know how to retrieve them. My old computer was also a Dell Optiplex GX110. I don't know why I told you that.
My qyestion is how would I go about trying to copy or burn these things off my old computer to put on my new one? I really hope that makes sense. What kind of discs do I need to buy? I have a CD & DVD Burner. Any suggestions & help would be really appreciated.

Thanks a bunch!

or insert the old computers HD into the new one, and transfer the files.
