I pulled the hard drive on my laptop, plugged it into the cable that Jerry sent me, and all is better. Jerry sent me a desktop, and now it is full of my old lap top. I was able to save all my old pictures, favorites, documents, etc. I also was able to save all my ipod songs. So, everything worked out well. And the best part is since I did it, I learned something. Thanks everyone for all the help and advice. I now have all the information double saved. And I am going to burn it to dvds too.
