Documents transferred from the old to new using a flash drive. Here, the documents but scrambled - help

I was on this site before and learned the file transfer Wizard.  Did not work.  So we went to the flash player.  The documents are there, but when you try to open them, they are truncated.  How can I get these documents readable.

Both are windows XP, old is Service pack 2, Service Pack 3 is new, and I have Microsoft works.

I gather from your rather terse comments that you copied the files to a computer on a flash drive and then copied to another computer.  Did you use backup software to copy the files to the flash drive, or did you just use Windows Explorer (or select--> copy--> paste or drag and drop)?

What application (including version) has been used to create the files and what application (including version) are you using to try to open the files?

What is the file extension of the files (3 or 4 characters after the point)?
