Im not really sure where abouts I should post this, and Its might of been asked before, but im running DS linux on an old computer from CD, because windows is buggered on that computer, I was just wondering if there is anyway of getting access to documents from windows so that I can transfer them to my new computer.

Any help is appreciated.

Extract hard disk from old computer and insert it on new computer.
Use any file administration tool to transfer files: Windows Explorer (Windows), Emelfm (DSL), Konqueror

1. Boot with DSL-CD
2. mount the windows drive
3. copy the documents & whatever to a pendrive or wherever you want to copy them.... You could even boot DSL with "toram" option(to free the CD-drive), and write your documents to a CD..

Anything is possible with DSL :D

ps. you can mount the windows drive with emelfm, just go to /mnt and select hda1, right-click and select mount. Now your windows drive is attached to /mnt/hda1.

If you have several partitions, second partition is hda2 etc..

If you want to copy the files to USB-stick, it can be found in sda1 (/mnt/sda1), and it can be mounted just like hda1...
