    I believe you can do this by using the USB ports. Doesn't XP come with a file transfer system?

        Using Direct Connect (Via USB or Null Modem cable) can be very tough to accomplish...not only that, but xfering 6 GB's will take forever. You would be better off pulling the HD and just slave it for 20 mins.

        I'm not saying that it can't be done, just a waste of time for a 1 time xfer...
