I have started other threads elsewhere. But I feel this question is most appropriate for this one.
I have an old pc that lacks a CD or DVD burner. It does have a CD 'player,' however. I tried to add a burner, even with greater hard drive, and it wouldn't 'take.'
I could actually replace the player with a burner, I suppose, maybe. Or I could purchase an external burner, temporarily. Also, I am on the verge of purchasing a brand new pc, altogether.
My 3 questions are this:
-I have alot of graphics, mpgs and compositional script (writing) on various 1.44 floppies. I want to transfer them to CDs or DVDs that take up much less room. So here goes:
-First, am I mistaken, or is it true that the new budget and workhorse (power) pcs don't have any slots for 1.44 floppies, because those are rapidly becoming extinct?
-Second, does that rule out transferring floppy graphic and script data from 1.44s onto the CD or DVD drive on my new model computer? In other words, does that mean that I can use the CD or DVD recording options for NEW MATERIAL, only, NOT already PRERECORDED stuff?
Third, if that is the case, am I now forced to first buy a CD or DVD reader or burner, anyway, so I can FIRST transfer all my PREVIOUSLY RECORDED data to CDs? I.e. do I need to purchase a CD or DVD burner (probably an external one, maybe?) IN ADDITION to my new pc?
