I have SQLServer Express 2005 on my machine, with 3 or 4 databases that need
to be ported, and I want to migrate to SQLServer Express 2008. What would be
the best way to do this?

I would think: 1) make backups of the databases, 2) deinstall SQLServer
2005, 3) install SQLServer 2008, 4) restore the databases ... can the
backups be restored without problems?

The SQL Server 2008 Express setup program will offer you the option to
upgrade an existing instance of SQL Server2005.
(Of course backups are always good.)
