if it is a USB hard drive just connect to computer copy to a folder on your desktop and then copy that folder onto new device.
just make sure you mount the new hardrive when you plug it in.

How are you connecting them?
can you connect both at once, if so, you can telnet in and use mv or cp to move them or copy them.

It will do, enable IIRC Samba or NFS and PC will see the HDD, install both anyway
