I need to copy a movie of 900Mb from one computer to another, as Data.
The
CD only holds 700Mb and I don't have a DVD burner on that computer.
Can I do it? And what's the best way? Thanks again.

Well, that depends... Over a network would be your best option in my
opinion. Connection's between the two PCs? Distance between them? Pulling
the drive and moving it might work? Spanning it with something like WinZip
might be an option - you can then zip it into 2 450 MB chunks for instance.

Well, how about getting a 1GB USB2 thumbdrive, for example? Or, you can
pull out your drive and connect it to the other computer, either
directly or by using an external USB/Firewire enclosure, which is not
very expensive.
