actually a simple crossover cable is a great quick way to do it...transfer speeds will be uber fast, and once the hurdle of having configured the two computers to talk to each other is crossed (which XP will do pretty much automatically) then it will be easy...no time taken to burn media and then transfer, etc....of course if one has their computer buried in a cabinet then there is the issue of hooking up the cable....I prefer an external drive for such transfers for various reasons...one of which being I only have one online computer, the others never go online, have no firewall of AV, and are stripped bare for performance..i.e. I do not want them in any way connected to this machine which at any given time might be infected at the OS level...
