I'm getting a new computer, and I want to transfer all the awesome VGOSTs I got on my new one, because some are very rare, especially the Mad Jack Battle I got from someone on a forum.

So, my question was, can I hook up both PCs via a USB wire and transfer the Data from my Laptop to my new PC? They will both be running on WinXP.

If I can't do that, can I safely transfer them SD Card to new PC without the data being corrupted? The laptop I am using does not have a Disk Drive.

Windows Easy Transfer.

Let's you transfer over a network, or using a special cable.

Works great.

I don't know what a VGOST is, but you should be able to transfer any files to a thumb drive or SD card.

Of course you should check to see that everything looks fine on the new computer before you delete anything off the old one.

Video Game Original Soundtracks. It's actually called VGM, but whatever.

Anywho, Flash drives/SD cards are an OK alternative, of course some brands are pricy, so you may want to look into that. Then after that you can keep it to back up important files and such, bahdunno.
