An old laptop of mine has a large number of photos that I would like to recover. It is a Toshiba Satellite that I picked up back in 2001. The machine seems to run all right considering the fact that I just fired it up for the first time in six years. It has ME installed.

It has no ethernet port and the modem is an old dial up. I tried getting onto Explorer and AOL but the versions on the machine are so old I could not get on line. Besides transferring 3000 plus photos on a dial up could take years.

Since the machine has USB ports I plugged in a SD adapter thinking that I could transfer the files to the 1 GB card then to my Mac or my HP Pavillion. No luck, the machine recognized the fact that the USB mass storage device had been plugged in, but I cannot find a desktop icon for a drag and drop. Further, I cannot find any reference to E: drive anywhere including the "Move to" drop down. Not what I would call plug and play. When the adapter was first plugged in it was assigned as E: drive.

Basically what is the most direct way of getting my files off that dinosaur and onto my G4 or Pavillion.

Thanks

Is the E:\ drive there and accessible, i.e., double-click the icon in My Computer and open its (empty) content?

If so Copy and Paste will work perfectly.
