The best way would be to create a ghost image of the existing hard drive, that has all your files and copy it, into an external USB hard drive or a secondary internal hard drive. Some ghost software packages only cost a few bucks, but basic versions can be downloaded for free.

How do you transfer pictures from one computer to another?

If the laptop has a CD writer, you can write the picture files to a CD and then load the CD into the desktop PC and transfer the files to the hard drive. If you can't write a CD with the laptop, you might email (send) the files to yourself and then read the email and download the files with the desktop. Also, Yahoo (and other sites) offer some free storage so that you could upload files from the laptop and download them to the desktop using your web browser. Does this help? Do you need more detail?


Which hard Drive would be best if I'm going to use large files with Photoshop?

There isnt a special "photoshop" hard drive out there. What you are going to look for is the biggest buffer, fastest rotation, and fastest read/write times. Stay away from PATA drives, look for SATA drives with the 3.0Gbit transfer rating. Also keep in mind that your system also has a part in dealing with large files. If you have a celeron or sempron, your going to have poor performance from even the best hard drive.
