Default How to install iGuidance on a new laptop with no DVD ROM drive?

Just ordered a Fujitsu P1610 (ultra-portable convertible laptop. I use iGUIDANCE 4. I am looking for the easiest way to download i GUIDANCE UMPC software to the laptop which doesn't have a drive. Could I somehow load the software onto a SD from the laptop I now use.

Do you have an external Hard drive? Just rip the iguidance DVD to the HDD and then take the iguidance setup folder and put the files and folders on your laptop in the system root. i.e. C:\Iguidance

No, don't have an external hard drive. Both laptops are running XP.

Another solution would be to copy/paste the content of the DVD via your home network. Or you could use a USB Flash Drive. By the way, I envy your new Fujitsu P1610 !

When I loaded Microsoft Streets and Trips on my UMPC I used a shared network drive off my laptop. It will go a lot faster if you can hard wire both PC's into the router than if you try to use wireless. You could also copy all the files to a usb strike or SD card and run the setup from there.
