Hey all,

I'm about to recieve a fairly old toshiba satellite. This will be my frist ever laptop!!! (yay).

I already own a very old Packard Bell - Very slow.

I intend to use my Laptop as follows:

@ Work/Travelling: Basic internet acces and word processing (minute taking)

@ Home: As my PC's monitor etc.

I wish to synchronise the two computer's hard drives, so i can store all my files onto my PC.

How do i go about doing this?

And are there any wires etc i will need to purchase to do this?

Thanks,
DK444
 
Tricky to very tricky on an old Toshiba satellite. Easiest way is to copy the files to a USB flash drive that will work on USB 1.1, copy the files, then reload them to the desktop. Methinks you will have lots of difficulties reliably doing a synchronization. The Packard Bell is one of the poorest, most difficult computers ever made when it comes to doing anything special.
If you don't have USB slots, use a Zip drive.
 
Zip drive? MUWAHAHAHAHAHA........i remember them! ;)
Tedster, why do you say the Satellite would be tricky?
Surely a crossover cable (assuming RJ-45 on each pc) will do nicely?
I do agree that a flash drive would be simplest and best. I'm just curious as to why you said what you said.
I'm always on the lookout for enlightenment. :)
 
Is it not possible to synchronise it at all? cos that would be easiest for me.

at the very least i would like to use my laptop as my PC's monitor
