You can network the two computers a couple of ways.
You can get a crossover network (Ethernet) cable (about $10)and connect the network cards together to form an "adhoc network" - there is help in Windows for how to set this up. This is difficult to setup, but once networked you can "share" folders (right click folder, click "sharing and security") and map them on the other computer as if it was a local drive.
You could also buy a speical USB to USB cable which allows two "host" USB ports to communicate to each other (with some kind of special circuitry in the center of the cable). These are about $20 - $30 and come with software that allows information to be transferred from one computer to another.

I imagine that if you buy a USB - USB lead (type a) male, then link the 2 computers up they will find the hard drive and any other drives on the other computer and you can do what you will.
