You may also want to consider transferring the files by network.  Put 
both Mac and PC on a network, enable Windows Sharing under the 
Sharing preference on the Mac, and then copy the files to the Mac via 
file sharing.

If you are not familiar with file sharing between OSX and Windows, 
read about it here:

Good luck.
