    if you can put both on xp, you can transfer them with a direct parallel connection.

    you can also move one hd into the other computer.

    you can also buy a $30 switch, connect the two computers with ethernet cat5 patch cables, and share files.

    you can also use a direct firewire or usb connection.

    those are some of the ones that pop into mind that avoid floppy hell.

      One application that could be of use is Hyperterminal. I know this exists on 98 and Me and possibly XP as well.

      Link the two computers together with a null modem cable and you can transfer along it.

      However the transfer rate is not high and you may have to get used to waiting a long time.

        I think that installing the old HD in the new pc is the easiest solution- thanks everyone
        I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

          Just take the power and data cable from your cd-rom and plug it in your hd. Reboot. Transfer.
          As easy as it gets
          If its no fun why do it? Dance like noone is watching...

            Definitely the best advice so far

              HyperTerminal is indeed a hidden Jewel.

                So many precious yet so different advices LOL! kill me




                IF I download HyperTerminal, install it on a Win98 system, connect two computers via modem and begin file transfer, it will work?

                  You should already have HyperTerminal installed on your Win98 PC. If not, you should be able to install it from your Win98 CD.

                      Actually I liked the Drones more but Foreman Franit didn't sound good

                      Ahem, back on topic please I'm going to dismember this old relic as that chromosome Danguy said, if there's not a better way for that

                        Just swap h/ds already! It is the easiest way!
