I have an old winXP computer with a bitcoin-QT wallet.
This computer has crashed and WinXP repair seems to hung up.

Is there any way to transfer some bitcoin-QT files to another similar
computer so that I can access the contents of the wallet?

Or any other solutions?

TIA

Stick the hard drive in a working computer and copy off the wallet.dat file, it's all you need.  Install bitcoin-qt to the functioning computer and replace your old wallet.dat then rescan.
