I bet the people who moved in afterwards were cursing you for some time. And the people who tried to move it using hammers and/or crowbars...

You need to create a driver disk containing about 1Mb of data to get another PC working properly.
Do you:
a) Use a single 1.44Mb floppy disk
b) Use a 650 or 700Mb CDR
c) Use a memory stick

Option a: try to find a floppy disk. Put in drive. Find disk doesn't work in drive. Find another disk. Format it. (2 minutes). Copy files onto it. Put disk in other computer. Find it doesn't work. Repeat. Finally get data copied 10 mins later. Put disk aside. 3 months later: try to use disk again. Find it has errors. Throw it away.
I'll use the memory stick thanks.
