Save settings and Emails and stuff from a different drive without F&S wizard?

I have since set XP home up on another hard drive, and my other installation of XP home is still on the other drive. The other drive wont boot in this new system, so does anyone know how i can rescue my old settings and transfer them to the new installation?

Any ideas?

thanks
