Well, you can buy an amkette usb connecting cable, or just connect the two pc by lan, make sure they are part of the same workgroup, also you may need to manually configure their ip addresses so they do not conflict.

Just for copying data i think its better to use a pen drive or Ext HDD or a usb cable as suggested by tkin
