Jennings, take the hard drive out of the old PC, strap it for "Cable Select" and then temporarily connect it to the new PC. If the IDE bus that the hard drive is on has a connector for a second drive use that - it the new PC uses SATA for the hard drive then use one of the IDE connectors and power plug from your CD/DVD drive.

You can copy all of the user data you want, however you can't copy programs as they need to be "installed" using the program's installation program.

Another way but it might take 2 or 3 trips would be to put the songs on a usb flash drive and transfer them to the new PC. I did this recently although I had to get a windows98 driver from Sandisk, the thumb drive's manufacturer, to make it work on the old pc.
