-=PCTechTalk=- How 2 transfer Stationery from old to new machine

oh man, my poor ole pc with Me on it went to pc heaven late last week at the 
same time we were dealing with tropical storm fay.............make a long story 
short we went to comp usa and ended up getting an xp machine that is a 
professional model..................doesn't have a lot of programs, not even an 
office program installed on it............so it's my first time having a 
machine that didn't have a bunch of crap on it.
and it has suprised the heck out of me and hubby but the saleman also sold us a 
harddrive enclosure so we could remove old harddives from ole Me machine and 
transfer files over.  I really thought I was gonna need my geekette, but i'll 
be danged if I didn't start figuring out how to take out my C drive and hubby 
is a mechanic anyway so he figured out the rest and we even figured out how to 
put them into the enclosure and i've been transferring files!!!!!!!!!!! woo 
hoo..................a big first for us, lololol.  I told him we sure couldn't 
do anymore damage to the old pc seeing as how it was dead anyway, lol.

now to get to my actual question <g> Can I take stationery that was installed 
in the windows shared folder on old pc and just do a drag/drop "wherever" the 
heck it goes on this xp mahcine?  I didn't know if just copy/paste, or drag and 
drop would make stationery that had been installed work.  I sure hope so cause 
i have just a couple in there that I made.  and where on an xp machine does it 
go.

can i say how much i looooooooooooooooove this new computer :-)))))))  it's so 
quiet i barely know it's running and i'm fumbing my way around xp, but i have a 
ton of stuff to discover and figure out still.

got all my old email folders and favorites.................whew!  

also i attached my 120gig external thinking it would probably work when i 
couldn't get it to work on the Me machine, but it wouldn't let me put files on 
it or take off or delete, so I decided to just format it, but got the error 
that it is FAT32 and my machine is NTFS (i think that's it)................so 
it this something where you have to go into the BIOS to fix up or how do i make 
this external useable with my new machine.

if you need any specifics about pc let me know.
