how do I move my email from one computer to another?

I have a new computer, and am in the process of transferring all data. I am
trying to move my email from one outlook to another. The computers are not
networked. I have located my outlook.pst file, but every time I try and copy
it to a CD or to a memory stick i get a message saying that 'Windows
encountered a problem when trying to copy this file. What do you want
Windows to do?' The only two options are retry (in which case I get the same
message) or cancel - which doesn't help me at all!! Does anyone know what I
can do? Help please!

State more clearly what you are doing and what the size of the file is. Are
you certain you have exited Outlook completely before trying to copy this
file?
