    How can I transfer my existing Hard Drive files to a new tower? I'm worried that I might lose digital photos I have saved. I purchased a new PC and want to transfer everything from my old PC to the new one.

    A free good tool to use is western digital data lifeguard. Give me a sec, and I'll edit in the link.

    Thanks for the link, can I remove the old HD and put it in the new tower without losing anything? The old HD is 80gig and the new one is 40gig.
