There are several ways to do this and it depends on how you want to tackle
the monstor. You could attatch the old drive as a slave and drag what you
need to the new hard drive, perform a backup using the Microsoft Utility,
put it on disk and do a restore in the new machine, or buy a utility that
will do this for you such as Drive Copy.

This site is kind of a primer for transfering information. You may find it
helpful.

After you transfer all of the information you need, format the drive and
re-install the original software and you Daughter is off and running with
her own computer.
