Perhaps by compressing it. Try ZIP/Rar.

If that fails, your best bet is to get a USB flash drive. You should be able to get an 8GB for less than $20.

You could use a Dual Layer DVD which holds 8 Gig, but you'd have to get a dual-layer DVD burner.

Just out of curiosity, what does this have to do with database?

Did our suggestions help you?

Just for future reference, database Forum is for dbase, SQL, Access, Oracle, and other database software/programming.

Your question would probably best be answered in the Vista or General Hardware Forum. DO NOT repost.
