Transfering Music
« on: February 01, 2009, 05:53:26 pm »
I have an older Dell laptop. I was going wait until I had a better machine to upgrade Media center; Now I am getting a lot of errors in my hard drive. I bought an external hard drive, What should I do to make sure no music files are lost. I was going to download media center to my external and transfer all music from this Media center. Good idea?

Just copy the files to the new portable.  Do you plan to upgrade the laptop hard disk?

Thanks for the reply.  I am not sure about upgrading the hard drive; everything else is o.k, but I was not sure if just upgrading on a three year old laptop would be worth the cost.  I will most likely replace the laptop with a new or newer( I'll check ebay) with more storage and faster cpu. I tried to download an upgraded media center to my e drive, instead of downloading to the correct drive, it tried to install on c drive with media 12, I thought I had lost everything, it did eliminate every play list, but I was able to get 12 back. I do I download media center to e drive. and not screw up what I have?  Thanks. Mike

Under File/Library, you can backup your library. 

Uninstall MC if you want to reinstall to a new location.

Good luck.
