getting a new computer and have kind of a tech question

I am getting a new computer, I should be picking it up today (I hope) and I will be taking tomorrow off to get it completely set up and ready to go. But I have a question; right now I am using an XP box but the new computer will have windows 7. I have 3 hard drives on my old machine that are not the C drive and I need to have the data on those drives available on my new machine. I am not keeping the old computer (my youngest son wants it) and I am not comfortable with partitioning.

So would I be able to pull my hard drives and put them in the new computer or would there be a compatibility issue

If there would be a compatibility issue could I get an external drive, move everything onto it and then save it to one of my older hard drives that has been formatted for windows 7?

I sliced and diced to have only the information I absolutely must have so it is only around 30 GB that I need to move

if anyone has any insight it would be appreciated
