I bought a USB disk caddy (Lindy) and took the 4GB disk out of my old Win2K Tosh laptop (not difficult, remove 1 screw).
I then put it in the caddy and connected it to the USB port on my new WinXP laptop.
Copied over the files, checked all ok then reformatted the Tosh disk. I chose to use FAT32 so that I could shunt data to Win9x PCs.
Having a 4GB portable USB disk has been invaluable, as a backup device and as a transfer device.
Works best with USB 2.0 ports (speed) and need to be aware of 12.5mm (old) or 9.5mm (new) disk height. The Lindy model fits both.
