    get urself a direct connect network cable, connect the pc and the laptop, share all folders and u should see both sytems

    or - if u have burner on both systems, burn the data to an optical medium and copy it back ... cheapest & simple way

    cheers ...

    Go to:

    LogMeIn.com and download the free software on your desktop. Then go to logmein.com and you can enter your desktop and transfer all the files & folders.

    Good luck.
