File Transfer

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Is it possible to connect the CD-RW of my laptop to the PC?

So if I connect the PC and the laptop using a crossover network cable,
can I browse the PC's hard drive and select the files to be burned?
Where can I find information on how to setup 2 computer network?

Thanks

Yes, you can transfer whatever files you want from the computer without
the burner to the laptop with the burner. You don't want to try and
burn the files from the Win2k box without transferring them to the
laptop's hard drive. Here are links to help you:

Another way to handle this is to buy a usb thumbdrive that has a large
enough capacity to transfer the files you want. The prices on these
tiny drives have come down and they are very reasonable. I have a 1GB
thumbdrive that I got for under $70 USD. You can get one that is 256MB
for around $25.

With all the free information available (a lot of links to which was
already given to the OP), there is no reason for anyone to spend $10
for a tutorial.
