First, thanks for helping,
The files I have to copy are close to 400meg and my 16meg USB key will be way too small. The problem with e-mailing is that the computer is a company computer and we have a static IP for each machine and the "computer guru's, term used very lightly) first thought is to reimage the hd. (I work for the Gov't). Before I turn the computer in for maintenance, I would like to recover the files that will be "lost". The machine will not even boot in safe mode.
