How do I get the data off my old computer on to my new computer?
My old computer is at the moment permanently dead.
I am on my shiny new computer and I would like to know the best way to get all my documents, music, and pictures from the old computer on to my fancy dancy new one. ^_^
I cannot turn on my old computer, because the charger has stopped working, so it is dead.
I do have a phat 8GB USB... so I was thinking about using that to transfer my stuff.

The only way to get it off your old computer is to get it to turn on. You can either buy or borrow a charger to get it booted up and transfer the info to a USB Memory Stick then export into your new computer, ...OR... You can do what Tofus said and then after the transfer you'll have an External Hard Drive to download all you stuff to and have it forever. You may also be able to add to the spare External Hard Drive saving you tons of heartache and time in the future, not to mention the money you will have saved.

If your old computer is dead, having a USB stick is not going to make anything happen.
Your best option is to remove the old hard drive, purchase an external hard drive enclosure, which will turn your old hard drive into an external drive that you plug into the new computer via the USB port, you should be able to access the data.
