From there just copy files from and to...

pland: USB HDD ?


and to take it a step further .. if you don't have a USB HDD --- you could just get a 2.5" USB caddy, take out your PC HDD ( make sure you get the right one for the laptop HDD PATA or SATA caddy ) and bung it in there..  and then you've got a VERY cheap USB hdd..  pull the data directly from the source drive, just be careful not to delete it :)
