Transfering data from one PC to another

Hi every1. I have a bit of a problem with transfering a database from one machine to another, at work. I have been put in charge of moving an Access database from a machine running Windows 95 (or 98) to a new machine running XP, the only problem is that the older machine has no cd-rw drive or usb inputs. Also the database that I've got to move, has a "front" on it with a series of "buttons" that move the user to various parts of the database. How can I move all of this together without destroying the data on it? And how can I do it and keep the "front" with the database as well?

Many Thanks
The Hammer

you can take the hard drive out and connect it to the other hard drive and transfer your data.

e-mail yourself it if they are both connected to the internet, or if its large and you have a website you could upload it to the internet. The other option is many floppy discs

Thanks for the tips. How could I put the old hard drive in the new machine and do the transfer that way? Would that void my warranty on my new pc?

For $14 US I would install a USB Card and then use file transfer to migrate the data.
