Moving Data to Another Computer

My computer simply wouldn't turn on the other day-was operating fine before that. I found a scorch mark on one of my memory sticks on 2 contacts. Ive replaced the power supply and it, the case fan and the small motherboard lite come on, but the computer does not . I'm thinking it might be the case ( Antec Sonata ) switch.

I have another computer that I'd like to transfer my data to. What is the best/simplest method. I'm good with hardware, but software is not my thing unless I have very specific steps to follow.

The old HDD is a 160 GGB Seagate IDE with SATA converter. The operating system is XP and the "new" computer is running Vista which I plan on updating to 7.

I have an new Seagate 1 TB USB 2.0 external drive if that helps.

Thanks, Bob
 
Just plug the old hard drive into the new computer and either leave it there or drag and drop the files you want and remove it again. Simples.
