I do need to re-state my question:

What is the name of the file I need to import from the old hard drive
onto the new drive for each of these three:

1.      Entourage calendar entries

2.      Address Book contacts

3.      Saved Usernames/passwords

I was able to copy the folders from Mail and the bookmarks from Safari.

While the advice I received is great, I still am unable to access the
necessary data.


For item 1. - I would try exporting the data from the old drive and  
then importing it on the new drive
For item 2 - same thing.
For item 3 - You don't say which program(s) or if its OS X that is  
doing the saving.  Try 'Applications : Utilities: Migration  
Assistant'  for just your username/passwords.  If that doesn't work  
try googling "moving saved user names and passwords in Mac OS X" and  
see what comes up.  I did not have much luck likely because my search  
term is wrong.  Even 'Migration Assistant' might not get them all as  
some programs have their own username/passowrod storage solutions.

I tried using 'keychain' as part of the search.  Have a look at this  
page:
