I tried to copy info from a HDD I transferred from a WIN98 computer to a XP computer and although the drive was detected, it was not assigned a letter and I could not access it. I assumed that this was because XP cannot read anything formatted for 98. I would love to have the right procedure detailed though, if I did something wrong.
And in the same vein, I tried to use Direct Cable Connection (new name in XP but same idea) but it only recognises a Serial Cable connection (don't have one of those). WIn 98 used a Parallel Cable (which I have).
So I ended up using the CDR feature on the old computer and copied everything I thought I needed to disk. Still at it. Cannot run my Zip drive because it is not supported by XP. Frustration all around.
