    Didn't quite know where to put this but I'll try here first.

    A friend has a new laptop and wants to transfer files from his PC to it. Both computers have USB type A ports and both have ethernet connectors.

    What is the best way to transfer files and does he need a software program to do this; or will Computer A recognize Computer B as a virtual drive and he can drag-n-drop the files?

    What OS do the computers have?

    Windows XP has a files and transfer setting wizard for just such a purpose.

    Laptop has XP, the PC has WIN98.

    Guess I shoulda mentioned that.
