Another alternative might be an external USB harddrive. This adds the option of using it as a backup device once the files are transferred.

Trust me BACK UP YOUR PCs - My wife lost a hard disk to a harddisk crash and getting the data back cost over 1200 pounds - The laptop was only 499 new!!!

Terry's idea of using a standard ethernet cable into a spare port on your router is fine, so long as you have a router, and so long as it has more than one port...

You can indeed, infact I have one of them... Very hand size...

And at about 24 quid, very reasonably priced too...

I hope the data was worth the cost......my data would be more irritation than cost

Do you know the correct pins to cross?

Yes.....you dont cross the 'pins'....you cut into the cable midway and crossover the wires.(Watched a video online)

Anyway.....dont know why I bother.....fuffing teenagers.
All last night and lunch time today it was a life and death thing.......So being Mr Nice guy I thought I would find out.....spur of the moment thing....you know wicked step dad.....helping out type thingy.

She came in tonight, I said "I know how to do it for you....no worries"
Nothing....zilch....zero ....nada...."Oh" she said.
Then she went and sat watching television. (Not BBC for your information)

Shant bother till she mentions it again.

USB Drives are not so handy if you are running Windoze Vasta... (The bigger badder OS, on valium)

It doesn't recognise most types of external USB storage if it's more than a few minutes old.
