    you should mount the old hard drvice and then copy the files to the new hard drive you will probably type something like this mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/old_hard_drive -t auto. Replace /dev/hdb1 with the device name of the old hard drive and /mnt/old_hard_drive with any directory where you want to mount the old hard drive.

    Once it is mounted you would type cp /mnt/old_hard_drive/* /wherever/you/want/files/ -R; sync; umount /dev/hdb1; sync; and you are done. If you want me to help you send me a pm because this should not be hard unless the old hard drive has a corrupt file system.
