The easiest way is to just take a LAN cable and connect the two computers . or you could use a router in between . now if you are using vista or win 7 [ dont really use xp so you gotta find out these settings yourself] go to the network and sharing center and turn on

1-network discovery

2-file sharing

3-public folder sharing

turn off

1- password protected sharing

copy what ever data you need to either the other computers public folder or into the same computers public folder and copy it to the other computer using the other computer .

IF YOU ARE USING WINDOWS 7

simply make a homegroup it makes file sharing very easy . just right click on the folder you want to share , go to the sharing tab and select read/write homegroup option . done now go to network from the other computer and copy it to that computer . :D

How can I pull the files off of my old Hard Drive?

(The following assumes that the hard disk is still in working condition.) If the hard disk is in a computer, you can connect it with another computer over a network, and copy the files over the network. You can also connect the old hard disk to your new computer (using a second hard disk cable); in this case, if you manage to make it work, you can copy the files from one disk to another. In this case, the copying itself should be much faster than copying files over a network.
