On the laptop, check under Network and Sharing center and make sure everything for sharing is enabled.

Is Windows 7 and Vista on the same pc? Are you dual booting or using a virtual machine?

I do say you should try your idea.

Load up the XP partition and try and copy the files into the vista partition. There really cant be any harm done in trying.
