SSD Windows 7 transferring settings

[andylango]

I have a new SSD running windows 7 as a boot drive but have my old hard drive partitioned with XP on it. How do I transfer my user and program settings from XP to W7?
Thanks for any help.

Thank you for your reply but I'm sorry I think I didn't supply enough information- it was late, I'd spent all evening trying to figure it out and posted my question without really considering it fully.
To explain:
I currently have 3 drives in my PC- the new SSD which is loaded up with Windows 7 and which I'd like to only use as a boot drive for the OS, plus another new 1 TB SSD which I plan on using for data/programs/ games etc and my old HD which is partitioned with my old XP OS as the C drive and all my current data as a D drive.
When I start the PC I can choose which OS to launch; 7 or XP, which is fine but ideally what I would like to do is transfer all my user settings (emails, bookmarks, My documents, photos etc) over to Windows 7 so I can just use the old HD as a data drive and switch OS to Windows 7.
Using the Easy Transfer Tool assumes you are transferring from one machine to another rather than switching drives on the same machine. This is what I'm finding confusing.
I'm competent with PCs but this sort of thing has me bamboozled as it seems to be straight forward but ends up involving changing registry entries and clean installs etc and I worry I may create bigger problems down the line.
Basically all I want is to run Windows 7 and retain all my settings from my old XP OS.
I realise I may have to reinstall programs but do not want to do this at the risk of losing the settings and data they have atm.
I hope that makes sense and appreciate any help you good people can offer.
Thanks

HI,andylango,Did you accomplish what you wanted to do as i am at the point you were at and i to find confusing even after following the setup instructions,then when you get to the end of it all it's like hitting a brick wall,i even downloaded EASY TRANSFER WIZARD to my WINXP HDD like it said to do
and still nothing i also did not want to end up with nothing but problems.
This is the way i see it when you have two HDD'S in one PC it should be as if you are transferring data from one PC to another PC,its just that both HDD'S are still in one PC does this sound reasonable thinking or i am i losing it in my old age,thank's
