    Installing old Win98 drive as slave to WinXP

    Disk Commander worked like a charm. I got everthing I needed, & WinXP was able to reformat the partition just fine.

    Installing old Win98 drive as slave to WinXP

    Current status: PC Inspector is working to a point. I can get to my files, but it is real ugly & time consuming. I have to find & select the files, hoping I get everything. That is assuming that it does not flake out & cause me to kill the program & have to restart all over again. It looks to me...

    $40? I guess I need to head to Office Despot, Office Maximus, or Best Buy. Winternals.com was hawking it out at $300!

    Installing old Win98 drive as slave to WinXP

    My old system board gave out, so I went out and got a new system that runs Windows XP (not the main reason but a good motivator to do so). I want to use my old 30 GB Western Digital drive as a slave drive, but without losing any of data. It is jumpered & cabled correctly & installed in the new...
