how do i move accounts from one harddrive to another?

The harddrive in my server died tonight and my isp is installing a new one with a new operating system as we speak. I am expected to just copy files across and set everything back up. I have no idea whatsoever how to do that, given that all the accounts on the server were created by cpanel. I have no idea what directories to copy other than /home and I have no idea how to get the new copy of cpanel they'll install on the new harddrive to recognise the accounts I just copied over.

If someone can help me with any of this I will be forever in their debt.

Thanks in advance; please help if you can, I run the risk of losing my entire business because of this.

edit: to clarify, the old harddrive had bad sectors and now refuses to boot in anything but readonly mode. the new harddrive they're installing will become the primary drive, the old harddrive will become the slave. i'll be able to copy files from the old drive directly onto the new drive. they'll both be in the same machine, basically, only the new drive will be the master instead of the old drive being the master, if you catch my drift.
