Hard Drive

[anon]

I have a 2 giga byte hard drive that is, after a long time
working well, breaking up. But I have a lot of files that
I would like kept, I don't know how to transfer the files
from this drive to a new 20 Giga byte hard drive, without
installing windows on another comuter and transferring
them via that.
I don't have USB, or a CD writer drive, the only output
is a floppy drive, and old COM and LPT ports on the back.
Pleasse advise.

Add the new 20GB drive to the same computer as a slave on the same IDE
bus as the old 2GB drive, or on the second bus (if that exists). Then
just drag-and-drop the files you need from the old to the new drive.
Then shutdown, remove the new drive and put it wherever it's needed.
