I am using XP and have two hard drives. The second hard drive is primarily a backup for My Documents. Periodically, sometimes daily, I will copy My Documents from the C drive to the backup drive. Obviously, if C ever died, I would still have all of my Word files on the backup hard drive.

I am now getting a new computer. How do I get My documents from my old computer to my new computer? Can I take the backup drive from the old computer and put it in my new machine and have it as a backup drive in the new machine? If not, again, how do I get My Documents from old computer to My Documents in the new computer?
