I have alot of files in my laptop that I want to put into the new PC that I just built and at the moment, I don't have access to a zip drive. So I looked into connecting the two machines. I went to accessories and went to Direct Cable connection, setting the laptop with files I'd like to transfer to the new machine as the host and the new machine as a guest. For the cables, does it have to be serial to serial or can it be serial to parallel?

Thanks in advance!

The fastest way is parallel to parallel. You can buy a "direct cable connection" cable almost anywhere for $10 or less. I got mine at walmart.
