Hi Mark,

If you can network the machines, the FASTWIZ is your best option. See:

Otherwise, pull the hard drive from the old machine and set it up as a slave
in the new machine. Copy your data files across.

Put the old hard drive in the new computer, as a slave, if its on the same
cable as the new one. Turn on the computer and XP will recognize the drive.
You can copy your data over, or you can leave it in.

You can also check out XP's Files and Settings Transfer Wizard.
