Vicki,
I typically use an Apricorn PCMCIA adapter that hooks up to a standard IDE
interface to make a laptop drive function as an external drive, then drag
and drop to it. I've used it on Wintel PC's and PowerBooks. The Apricorn
kits (usually sold as 'E-Z Drive', IIRC) are often available on E-Bay for a
reasonable price, and they are very handy.
Does your 550 have a PCMCIA card cage?
Another reasonable and inexpensive alternative is to use CallunaCard PCMCIA
Type III hard drives, easily found in 520 MB and 1 GB sizes.
HTH,
Richard
