Backup and restore is the SAFE way to do it. It will strip any garbage and
rebuild the indexes as well. I've copied databases in the past when in a hurry
but it's not recommended and would probably not work in your case.

I suspect from your question that you don't have a backup of the database? SO
I'd install a copy of 1.5 on the laptop and create one.
