Tom proposed the following answer:
The main thing is to copy the whole "Documents&Settings" folder to sda5.
It probably doesn't get all your camera pictures and odd stuff like that
which Windows likes to scatter all over everywhere but it does get
pretty much everything.  If yu are hunting through folder-by-folder then
make sure that the file-browsers "View" menu gives you a side pane and
shows hidden files.  Then at the top of the side-pane it should say
"Places" by default but has a drop-down arrow - so you can change this
to "Tree" which is really cool man lol.  It looks a lot like the Windows
Explorer type thing and lets you use the arrow keys to swiftly race
through 1 folder after another very quickly :)
