   hook the computer you are not using, to the your home network, if you dont have one create one, then set the C:/ drive as a share drive.

   i think u mean how to use 2 computers with One monitor ? ..ur question lacks information.

   but, heres an attempt.

   1. If u want to network 2 PC’s together. . u need a Cross over Cable (Cat5) and u need to set up a LAN within ur 2 pc’s..
   follow the instructions below:

   If both machines have a network card installed, purchase a CAT5 Cross-over cable and simply connect the two computers through the NIC’s.: http://wpool.com/cablesharing/4.htm

   2. If u want to use both simultaneously with one monitor, 1 keyboard & mouse. Then u need a KVM switch.

   3. Or you can just take out the Old almost empty HDD and put it into the PC u are using. as a Slave.
