On XP Machine:
Enable file sharing if not already enabled, and down any firewalls
On the Laptop:
Go to Start and Run...type \\"destination Comp Name"\c$ (will give you access to the C: drive of that comp using the hidden share name that is default on every drive in Windows)
Then just copy the files accross the network, you will have to know the local administrator account password the the computer to do this.
Should work...
