What Dilbert said, just make sure to change the jumpers if it becomes a slave drive. You could also compress and burn the stuff he wants to a dvd, or send through something like MSN Live Messenger (my shared files). Could be time consuming depending on how much stuff he has. Could also be a good opportunity to get rid of stuff he doesn't really need. You can download free some software like "DBAN- Darrick's Boot And Nuke" to wipe the drive as though new after you save his stuff. I like to do this because it takes out everything, including the old boot sector, so there is less chance of virii if you have a good XP disk.
