They are just files. Share whatever folder they are in on your laptop, mount it from your PC, and copy the files. (If you have broadband they are probably already on the same network to be able to do this.)

Have you a memory stick available aka thumb drive or key drive (basically the thing that you stick in the usb port of your computer with a couple of gig of storage on it?)

The raw files are simply computer files no different than a word document, an excel sheet, or a mp3 file so transferring them about the place is the same.

Just copy them to your memory stick from your laptop and then copy them to your computer. It should be as simple as that.

(hope i've understood what you were asking )

How did you copy them to your laptop in the first place? Please tell me you didn't let some program do it for you.

and.. are the pictures still in your camera?
