Hi guys,

Well, after the problems with my sister's PC, she's gone and bought a new one - a Dell 2.6ghz or something, its arriving tomorrow evening.

What I wanted to ask is she wants to transfer all of her mp3s, photos taken with digi cam and all her documents and pics of Robbie Williams (ugh :/) from my PC which I share with my sis and my mum, over to her's.

What is the best way of doing this? I have a Belkin Router which when the PC turns up for my sister I will link up. I have tried file & printer sharing but I dont like how it gets set up, it makes folders on your HD where you have to transfer the files to, to be able to retrieve them, is there another way of doing it? perhaps making my sister's hard drive appear as another drive letter on my PC?

Is there any decent software to do this or will I have to use the XP File & Printer Sharing wizard.

Thanks all,
