I just bought a new Windows XP system (NTFS). I have files on an old Windows 98 (FAT32) hard drive that I would like to keep. Can this be installed into an external drive kit that the Win XP machine will read?

Can I copy these files onto the NTFS drive?

Thanks for any help?

Yes and yes.

(assuming no overlay software used to set up 98 drive, and it doesn't have Norton goback installed on it).
 
Thanks wolluf.

I'm off to newegg.com now.
