To be honest, I wouln't suggest copying the whole disk over, but if
you do wish to do this, I can't see any reason why not to copy and
paste from the File Explorer GUI, if (for some reason) you do want to
take absolutly every file.

Top hint though, the user folders, i.e. the 'My Documents', 'My
Pictures' etc for each of your user accounts may be security protected
so you may find that once you copy them over to vista, you have to re-
take ownership of the folders and give yourself permissions to them,
it may be much simpler just to dive into these individually and pull
the data out.

Hope this helps,
John
