If you've only couple profiles to transfer, the File And Settings
Transfer (F.A.S.T.) Wizard should suffice.

Or, there is the "old fashioned," manual way, adapted to use
removable media:

FAST is an option as Bruce indicated. Another way is to take the drive out
from the old computer (by tower you mean computer, right?) and install it as
a slave drive in the new computer. Then copy the user files. Depending on
where those files are stored you might need to take ownership of them.
