| 225795 | 2004-03-30 01:31:00 | Hi F & I, Now that IS definitive- thank you. O K - pushing my luck no doubt what do I do to save data to the XP h/d ( from the W98)- sequences please in childlike detail :-) I can easily re set up the programs on the W 98 THEN how can I reformat that small drive - then tell XP that it is there Big joke - many years ago _ was taught on an Amiga computer- and I accidently formatted the entire h/d- it literally ate itself to death- ( my youthful tutors, even to this day will NOT let me forget that- huge leg pull- ad nauseum :-( thanks effie c |

| 225796 | 2004-03-30 02:19:00 | Well we need more info Effie. You say that both Win 98 and Win XP hard drives are currently master. Can you explain EXACTLY just how you go from Win Xp to Win 98? If your setup is how I think it is setup you are possibly going to have to get under the hood - physically - and change the hard drives jumpers. And you will need to change things in the BIOS. Are you confident about doing that? > I can easily re set up the programs on the W 98 Is that a typo? You are planning to get rid of Win 98 entirely, remember? |

| 225797 | 2004-03-30 03:29:00 | Hi F & I, Ouch - getting under the "hood" makes me quake- I am a big man and have hands that easily cover two keys on the keyboard at once- boy! can I see trouble ahead :-) --- and I am minus a left forefnger, last joint ( a lawn mower) at that. That is a typo- my statement should read that I can re install all the programs now in W 98 -and do away with that O S.-- the only one that I may have to miss is scrabble- I have tried it on XP and it flutters as one plays ( it is the full version)- so if I go ahead I may have to lose this one. I have just installed a 52 X CD rom after my 32 X packed a sad, and the tiny itty bitty bolts nearly drove me mad- especially crouched down/ and / or bending over the top and being very careful not to do something stupid :-) Yes, I am planning on getting rid of W 98 but....---- durrrh! I could wait until one of my tutors- now promoted and transfered to another city, comes home - Right! thank you again - I will print out this and do a lot of thinking. No doubt to you guys this would be a piece of cake-- Ha !!!! Effie c |
