Sorry if these questions seem silly:

Does your old machine have a USB interface?
Does it have a CD-drive?
Do you have an extra USB HDD, eg for your new computer?

If so, a boot disk may be an alternative for you . There are some free offers on the web. Download and burn with your new computer - then boot your old computer with it and transfer the data to the USB HDD. (If you want to rescue only a small quantity of data/files, a USB stick will do)
