if this is a one-time transfer, there is a cheaper solution:
buy a laptop hard drive adapter. take the drive out of the laptop and connect as secondary drive on the desktop. boot up the desktop and the laptop drive will show under my computer. do file transfer.
another option is to buy a cross-over cable and link the two computers.
or, connect both computers to a network and transfer files over the network

How much data do you plan on transfering??? A very simple solution would be to go to your nearest electronics store and purchase a USB flash drive. You can pick up one of these for as low as 26 bucks, I will give you a link.

I agree that it is not necessary to physically remove the HD from the PC. If you don't plan on using any money on this tranfser, just use good old email. Compress your files into one zip file and go to http://www.yousendit.com/. You can send yourself the email and download it onto the laptop.
-install hard drive in newly purchased External HDD Enclodure with USB. (http://www.pcclub.com/product_details.cfm?itemno=A3326311)
-Plug hard drive enclosure into laptop USB port
-Copy files using Windows Explorer.
