If both computers have network cards, get or make a crossover cable and set up a peer to peer network. Then you can access the folders on your desktop by sharing the ones with your files.

If you happen to have a null-modem cable (parallel is preferred because it's faster) you can also go that way, see attachment for how. Won't be nearly as fast as the straight-through network connection but then if you don't already have a pair of network cards, the cable will cost you less money. If you can find the cable that is!

Ah here ya go:

Take the drive out of the laptop. Fit it to the computer iwth a micro IDE cable. Copy from drive to drive. That's what I do :)
