Bare with me.. Now, how do I transfer from laptop to laptop..
1st off, thanks to Stunna for offering help and Bdog (freemake worked).
I managed to copy 1 hr of my 8 hr video to my laptop that does have a drive. Is there a way to use a USB to transfer from laptop to notebook.
I am trying to avoid buying an external drive as I would not be using it much.
Thanks guys.

Connect both to your router with an ethernet cable.
Then follows these

This way you can just share files from one computer to the next over the network.

I'm assuming laptops and router = wifi. Why not just skip the cables, follow the guides for transferring machine-to-machine, start them transferring over wifi and then hit the hay? Wake up in the AM to a completed copy.

I was hoping he had a router with 2 open ports and 2 ethernet cables to hook them up. Would be much faster than wifi would be.

So I thought you would need a crossover ethernet cable, but per wiki, it looks like you might be able to simply connect 2 laptops with a standard ethernet cable as most modern nic cards have automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration.
