Coleague at work needs to do a powerpoint presentation on Wednesday. The presentation is on a CD. The laptop she is using has no CD and the external floppy is bust. Also it has no network card.
I thought I would be clever and copy the file onto my USB hard disk and then load it onto the laptops hard disk from there. Only problem is that the laptop runs Win 98 and wants drivers for the usb hard disk whereas my XP Pro machine at home was just plug and play.
The only solution I can think of is to borrow a different laptop or email the drivers to the laptop.
Any other suggestions?

Email the presentation.
Put the laptop disk in a desktop using adapter.
Put the presentation on an ftp server and download it.
Put the presentation on the web somewhere and download it.
Use direct cable connect (assuming the W98 laptop has cab files loaded).
