Transfer files from desktop to laptop
Can I transfer CSDS to my laptop by copying files from my computer?
My laptop does not have a CD drive.
To copy CSDS onto a laptop without a CD drive:
- Create a temporary folder on the laptop
- Load the CD on a computer with a CD drive and copy all files from the installation folder (usually D:\CSDSxxxx, where xxxx is the version number) onto floppies or a USB key (thumb drive).
- Copy the files from the floppies (or USB key) into the temporary folder on the laptop.
- Run the setup program from the temporary folder on the laptop.
- Delete the temporary folder.
You can not just copy the program folder (usually C:\SQDATA) to the laptop because several system files need to be installed and registered.
