Glenn,
     I know there is a third party product that can do that with no
extra software required.  See details below.

ezSHARE cable by Vantec

http://www.vantecusa.com/front/product/view_detail/386  (One model has
a usb hub built in the other is just the transfer cable itself.)

just my two cents,
Derek

> Hi, for purposes of backing up/ transferring files , could you link a laptop to a desktop via a usb cable?  Would it just be "new hardware detected" or do you have to do something with commands or such?  Would it be ok if one was Vista and one was XP?  I guess I'm viewing the laptop as an external drive.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
