What Scotty said mostly.
Having a machine directly on DSL, or cable modem is asking for trouble even with XP or other software firewall. I reccomend a router. That should also allow you to set the two machines up on a network to move the data between them.
XP "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard" is ver good for anything Microsoft, so as long as you are mainstream, it should do well.
I can help as long as it isn't to painful. You do own all your software, and have install CDs, right?
