To make sure no one else on the network can see the drive I would make a cross-over cable. Plug the computers in directly, and set your IPs to a 10.10.10.x (one computer set to 1, the other set to 2). That will prevent having to remove harddrives from either computer, and will prevent the computer from being shared out over a public network for however long the transfer takes, and if the cable is made right it is the fastest way to transfer data over a network.
