I bought a Disgo - a portable USB storage device. Saved from one PC to that, then saved from that to my laptop. 256mb one is £25 and really handy to have anyway - you will use it for other stuff too

 

Plug the cable, XP will detect the connection. On the machine with the data, share the top level folder out and give everyone full control on it. On the new machine, browse to the old one using its ethernet IP address and you should see the share, double click into it and drag and drop all the data over.

Cheers

I could be wrong but I think you need a crossover cable to connect 2 PCs not an ethernet cable

 

I got a 1gb stick from staples for £15 on monday

Also can you it for private browsing as well

 

usb is the fastest and easiest mate

 

If you have an ipod with spare space use that as a memory stick!

 

Yeah my bad misread that!!

 

mr s1 where did u buy it from ??

 

go to www.ebuyer.com I got a 512MB one for £16

 

Got mine from PC Worlod, but was about 2 years ago so will be cheaper now. I'd get one from the web - be cheaper mate
