Assuming the files are all the same type (or not too many different types), you can just go to your Documents folder, search for eg. type:mp3 , press Ctrl+A to select all, and drag&drop to the new location. Repeat for each extension.
You can highlight the files you want to move, and then use Cut/Copy/Paste (either right-click, or the keyboard copy/paste commands) to move it. Cut-and-paste will move it, while copy-and-paste will create a second copy of the file.

You can restart the command and it'll resume. I use it all the time over the network. Works on large files as well.

I would physically move the hard dsk if possible.
