    Hi,
    Just a quick question. I just upgraded my old T41 with XP Pro to a T61 with Vista basic. I pulled the harddrive out of the T41 and will put it in an external enclosure, and I want to transfer files (photos, music, word docs, etc) to the t61. Will I have any difficulty doing this? Sorry if it's a dumb Q but I have never tried this before.

    Thanks in Advance!

    No problem to plug an external disk and copy the data
