Copying from XP machine to XP machine?

[doggo]

Right then folks I need a bit of advice.

I've got a mate who has just got a new machine to replace his aging Dell PC, he's using both the new and old machines for his own business and wants to copy all his email and documents and fravoraites over to the new PC before the old one dies, he's running xp on both of them, is there a way of migrating all the stuff over with a cable or will he need to buy a programme to do it. I know with vista you can copy stuff over from an old machine using a cable as I did this with my PC.

thanks

Thanks all, I'll point him in the direction of this site and let do the rest, it's difficult trying to explain this to someone over the phone.
