Re: Swapping data only HD from Win98SE pc to XP pc

Hi, and thanks for the replies.

I backup everthing to cd every month so luckily there's not much to
backup since my 98SE pc's CD burner started acting up.

Alternatively, assuming that you have USB on the old machine, you
could go get an external USB2 enclosure and put the 2nd drive into
the enclosure, then you can access the drive from both the Win98SE
and XP
machines (but not at the same time), by connecting the enclosure to
whichever machine.
- I think I'll eventually do this and get a brand new larger hd to
permanently install as the 2nd drive in the XP pc. I'll get an
enclosure and use this for mobile data. For now I'll just temporarily
install it in the XP pc until I get that new hd.

I guess my main concern was whether or not the XP pc would be able to
read the data on the drive if I did put it in. Your answers confirm
that it will, so thanks again. :)
