The easiest thing to do is put the old drive into the new machine, then jut move the files you want to your new drive. In fact, if the old hard drive is still good, after you transfer the data, reformat it and use it for storage in the new machine. If that's not an option, do you have a USB flash drive? That's an easy way to transfer files, provided you aren't wanting to transfer gigabyte after gigabyte of data.
