Issues With First Withdraw

[Vitamin]

Hello everyone.  I'm new to Bitcoin, having just made my first purchase of 0.1 BTC a couple days ago.  I tried to withdraw it from Coinbase (yes, I knew enough to not invest in Mt Gox), and seem to be having difficulty.

I'm pretty sure the problem is on my end with my wallet.  Before ordering my 0.1 BTC I decided to download the Bitcoin-QT wallet.  I didn't know how big of a file the ledger actually is, and by the time it ate up 75% percent of my data plan I decided it wasn't worth it.  Unfortunately, I ordered my transfer while it was still downloading the ledger which is why I'm guessing it's never come in.

I've since downloaded the MultiBit wallet, transferred some coins from Coinbase to it, and am quite happy with it.  Is there anyway I can get my 0.1 BTC out of cyberspace and into my MultiBit wallet?  The most obvious way to just let Bitcoin-QT finish downloading the ledger, but for obvious reasons I don't want to do that.  Coinbase has already issued me the receipt of the withdraw in my account on their site with several clickable links and a couple of downloadable files that I'm not sure if there's anything I can do with.  Is there anything I can do except just let Bitcoin-Q finish downloading?  Thank you in advance for helping a noob.

If you withdraw money into your qt wallet and bitstamp already sent it (you have tx)
then you must wait till qt will synchronize
No other way to get it back.

Not true.  Simply import the wallet from your Bitcoin-QT into your MultiBit wallet.  This will import the keys for the Bitcoin address you created in your Bitcoin-QT wallet into the MultiBit wallet.

Wala, the coins will magically appear in your MultiBit wallet.

However, you need the wallet.dat file created by Bitcoin-QT, hopefully you did not delete it.

even without synchronization first?

ah yes ... multibit will get wallet address from qt if you do that

My bad! You are right!

Thank you all for your help!  There is a "wallet.dat" in the Bitcoin folder, which I am certain was created by QT.  However, I get an error message when I try to use it.  It says, "com.google.bitcoin.store.UnreadableWalletException Could not read wallet"
