I have tons of disks with pictures on them. Can I use this to move the pictures onto my computer?

I would have to answer, that as long as the data (pictures) on your disks are intact -- can be read and displayed from the diskettes they are stored on -- then yes. You didn't say, so I'll assume, that you have a Windows PC (Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8). This floppy drive should work just fine.

No! This will not read discs. Every single disc you put into this device will be unreadable. Spend an extra $10 and get a device that actually works. I made the mistake of buying this one. It is crap!

I would think so. My disks and the files on them were from old Windows version laptop and desktop computer. I transferred Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files and some images that were most likely JPeg. Everything opened just fine on my current laptop that I plugged this little drive into. But please note that this is a floppy disk (hard square things) drive and not a CD/ROM drive. If your disks are from the photo developer they are most likely CDs. This won't work for DVDs or CDs (shiny round disks).

This is a floppy drive for 1.44MB floppy disks. If that's what kind of disks you have, then yes. If they're CDs, then no. Floppy disks haven't been common for more than 10 years, so it would be good to know what kind you have.

I have about 6 floppy disks with pictures, must of been developed that way. Can I use this drive with a Mac? I no longer own a PC.

Yes. I have Windows 7 and I bought the Sabrent External USB floppy disc drive to transfer pics from some old floppy discs I found. It worked perfectly. I plugged it in and it had it's own software. I went to my photo organizer and imported my pictures immediately from floppy drive to computer. It's great.

Yes - I bought this as a XMas gift to myself. I have Windows 7 and wanted to move all my pictures and songs to this new drive. Simply plug it in and windows will automatically recognize and you are good to start dragging your files over. So simple - no special software - hope this helps.

It's a good idea, but I'd definitely recommend backing up all of your images to DVD as well. Additionally, I'd recommend maybe looking into an online backup service - Mozy is what I use, and it's free up to 2GB. Another good free program that may help you sort your images is Picasa.

Yes, I do it all the time. Also I copy photo files between three hard drives. No problems.

Yes you can. Once you have the pictures loaded, you can do just about anything with these. Transfer, take to a kiosk for developing, the list is endless. I am so glad that I found this product and Amazon's price is almost half what you would pay elsewhere. I purchased the PK-16 for transferring pictures from my laptop and my desktop and it worked. Now all of my pictures are stored in one place and accessible anywhere.A

Never tried that... But I don't see why not. It's probably easier for you to just copy it to a USB drive, no?

Thanks for all the answers. Actually, I googled this and found out I could just drop and drag files using the Computer screen and that it working great to transfer the photos.Thanks again.

I don't see any problem, if you can copy files, video or jpg as long as it's in your computer then you do what you want

No this disc if to save what you had on the computer only if you are trying to move what you have to another computer. You need your or an original disk for your computer. kevin.saunders99@live.com for questions.

It creates an image of the drive you are copying from. It can not transfer just the OS.

The device scans directly to a SanDisk. I have an 8GB disk in mine. To move the pictures to your computer you can either move the SanDisk into a card reader slot on your computer, or you can hook up a USB cable between the scanner and the computer and access the files that way. There really is no software to run so the answer is yes, you can use it to move pictures to a Windows 7 PC. I have Windows 7 on my laptop which has a built in card reader.

It depends what you mean by all files? Normally photo's documents etc should be on an exteranl drive so all you need to do is reload your programs and then connect the drive with your files. If you have them on your pc's hard drive just copy them to the zip and then move them back to your new pc or upgraded pc.

Yes it can, but it depends on what data you are talking about moving, i.e. word,excel files, music, videos etc, yes. But If it's OS related, then the answer is no. Remember this cable is designed to transfer mixed file types, through the use of (Easy Transfer) app. that's built into the OSfrom one PC to another PC. If you transfer the OS types, then the only way to do this is to do a clean install, from one OS to another. And of this you need the OS discs or ISO file for the reinstall.

Yes, you can copy the photos from your computer to discs using a number of different programs available separately or just copy them directly to a CD or DVD. However, I have mine saved on an external hard drive and use my Roku to view on my television. How long it takes depends on how many pictures you want to transfer but the time is minimal compared to transferring video.

yes you can. i used this drive to download all my pc games on cd and dvd discs to my pc.

Yeah but your better off getting a larger hard drive because of the amount of files you're trying to transfer. This USB is only 16-32 gb of memory and I'm pretty sure you're gonna want to move a lot more files than that.

No, I don't think you can. These drives are usually either for a Mac or PC and not interchangeable. I don't know of any that you could use for the purpose you want. Have you looked into something like Carbonite? There are others like this out there. This is a remote program to store your files and then you can get them from anywhere. You could look into this. It takes quite a while to save your files initially but then works in the background after that. Congrats for switching to a Mac. There is a learning curve but I'm sure, in the end, you will be glad you did!
