river Forums Junkie Location: Land of Oz Registered: June 2004	Win98 to XP Question Wed, 20 July 2005 04:50 Hi, Getting broadband put on at home for the family but alas they (my ISP) told me I need to use Win98SE or later. Sadly I only have the old original Win98. So, it looks like I'm gonna be dragged into the 21st century and get XP. I have two choices. 1st choice I reformat my current HDD and load XP. I'll have to save a whole bunch of private files and other stuff by burning it to CDs, then reloading it afterwards. 2nd choice is to buy a new HDD and put XP onto that. Then I make my old HDD the slave drive. I'm assuming if I do this then I can read the old drive without a problem? This seems like a better way of doing it, and I doubt there'd be an issue with XP reading stuff on my old Win98 HDD. Actually, I really only need the old drive to transfer private files and any required application data. I got all the apps and games on CD to reload. Oh, but I want to be able to transfer my email stuff and also my favourite URLs. Any advice or pitfalls in my plans? seeyuzz river [Report message to a moderator]
