Option 1. "split" files into small files and move by floppy.
dos program should be available somewhere or use cygwin
Merging shall be something like:
$ cat file1 file2 >merged-file
> copy /b file1 file2 merged-file
Option 2. Open box and unplug harddisk.
For deb -> win,
make small vfat directory and drop files.
move drive to win machine and boot and read.
For win -> deb
move hdd to deb side and mount it and read
Anyway, you seem to have a lot of hardware problems. Fix it first by
moving/borrowing cdrom drive. Slow cdrom and ethernet card cost less
than $30 only each. 4 hours of work for each at humberger shop.
