retreiving fles from crashed computer

[MIcrosoft]

My Gateway laptop with Vista has crashed due to a hardware failure. The
hard drive from the Gateway is intact though and I have it installed in a
USB device so that I can retreive files from it to the HP Running XP pro
that I will be using now. Office 2003 Professional is the version I am
using on both. The problem is that all my cntacts, mail, calendar, and
stuff is still on the Gateway hard drive. Is there any way to copy the
necessary files from the Gateway hard drive to the HP? If so what is the
path to the files on the Vista computer?

Thanks
Byron
