Are there any other lighter wallets I can use where I don't have to have the whole blockchain on this system? My computer is volatile at the moment, this motherboard I'm using now could fail at any moment.
I know there would be lighter wallets but looking for something where I can just dump my wallet.dat file into and get cracking. I have my private keys dumped on hard copy.
I'm only aware of the wallet.dat dump at blockchain.info. From there you then could do a transaction to a thin client like Multibit or Electrum, if you really must use a light one.
