Save the existing Document Library as a template, and if the contents of the library exceed the 10MB limit, do not include them. 2. Create a second (new) Document Library based on the template from #1. If the library's content was successfully saved in the template (i.e. it was less than 10MB) then the migration/copy process is complete. If however, the content was not saved in the template, then proceed to step #3 3. From inside the first (original) Document Library, click: "Actions > Open with Windows Explorer", and a new Explorer window will open showing the directly structure of the library. 4. From inside the second (new) Document Library, click: "Actions > Open with Windows Explorer", and a new Explorer window will open showing the directly structure of the library. 5. Drag files from the first (original) Document Library into the second (new) Document Library. All metadata should be preserved. Additionally, if you would like to copy the documents (and not simply move them), hold down shift while dragging the files (i.e. copy and paste) from one window to another.

I have used that personally by free downloading from Xavor’s website. The software can migrate tons of terra bytes of data from WSS 3.0 to MOSS 2007. Besides that, I have found another useful tool in their website named as SharePoint Admin Tool that allows site administrator one click access to a set of useful administrative tools like check access of security principle and add web part options.
