I'd guess that most of your hard drive is taken up with your operating system (win 98/2000/xp etc) If so, why not writ my documents to a cd (assuming your old box has a cd writer) and then drag and drope into my docs on your new machine when you've got it up and running and are happy with it? I back my docs up like this once a month; cheap to do, and saves many tears if you get wormed and lose all your hard earned docs and pics. Bloody pooters, spawn of the devil!
