Are you using XP and will the new computer have Vista?

Looks like you are not currently around. There are a number of different ways to do this - PM me when you are online and we can decide which is best and I'll do a walkthrough for you.

ok the best way is a straightforward copy to the external drive then - I take it that the drive has quite a decent capacity.
How au fait are you with navigating around folders/hard drives?
