Copying large datasets in Windows

Hello all,
   I have a rather large table (29 million records, MySQL Administrator  
shows a data length of 4 Gb) which I need to make a copy of for analysis  
purposes. I've tried using the Backup function in the Admin to get a  
script I can then read into a separate server, but it died about 80% of  
the way through. SQLyog's copy routine died, earlier in the process.
   As a last resort, can I just copy the files from one server to the other  
 from Windows itself? I seem to recall from the one training session I was  
at that this is an option, but I can't remember for sure - and don't want  
to break either server by just trying it without some research.

Thanks for any input,
Matt
