Vista - Transferring files from Vista back to an XP computer using a cable

Because of a hardware problem, I need to transfer the contents of my new
windows vista laptop back to my old laptop running XP. There are several GB
of data here, so I was hoping to use some sort of direct cable connection. I
used an Easy Transfer Cable to migrate from my old laptop to my new one, but
its doesn't seem to want to allow me to go the opposite way.

Any ideas on how I transfer several GB of data back to my old XP laptop?

Burn a DVD?
