I need to copy a movie of 900Mb from one computer to another, as DATA. The
CD only holds 700Mb. Can I do it? And what's the best way? Thanks again.

How? I have never done it, obviously. Could you be patient enough and
explain a little more specifically? Thanks a lot.

Unlikely to compress much if its a movie, but tried zipping?
Otherwise - network connections, USB flashdrive or USB hard drive

OR split the file with a filesplitter or zip/winzip, copy to 2 CDs,
reassemble on target drive.

Check that each computer has a network port. If either hasn't,
install one. They are very cheap. Obtain a simple cross-over type
network cable. Connect it between the two computers. Assuming
Windows XP, run the Network Setup Wizard on each computer.

Hell - Google for "setting up a network". It's not an uncommon task
