Take a look at Gary Woodruff's page on using the Files And Settings Transfer
(F.A.S.T) Wizard
http://aumha.org/win5/a/fast.htm
You can use your XP CD, without having to install XP onto the old system,
to run F.A.S.T. Save the file and then use a CD Writer to burn the file to
disk. Use F.A.S.T on your new XP system to restore the files and settings.
Or you can simply burn individual files and folders to a CD and then copy
them back to the new system
