Yes. You could take the source disk out of the laptop and connect it to 
a 2.5-to-3.5 IDE drive connector interface (which costs about USD $15 
here in the USA), and then connect that to the motherboard of a desktop 
computer, and then use g4u, but it is ten tons of work and I always have 
trouble finding pin 1 on the interface boards. That would take about 45 
minutes to an hour right there. It is far easier to plug in a USB, 
firewire, or SATA cable connected to an external drive. You can find a 
USB 2.0 or combo USB 2.0/eSATA PC Card (plus an appropriate external 
hard drive) for the laptop if transfer time is really a big issue for 
you. Then run g4u.
