Use Windows Easy Transfer to migrate data and settings from a Windows XP
installation to a Vista installation.

How to use Windows Easy Transfer to migrate files and settings from one
Windows-based computer to another Windows Vista-based computer

Note Vista questions should be asked in one of the Vista newsgroups. In
this case microsoft.public.windows.vista.general would have been the one to
use. Look under micrsoft.public.windows.vista or a list of all the Vista
newsgroups.

It's just a USB cable, and besides that is only one way to transfer data with WET. Run WET from the Vista DVD from the XP desktop and save the data to flash drive, external USB drive, CD/DVD or over a network. Then run WET on the Vista installation and bring in the data.
