I have a customer who wants to upgrade from win98, not 98se. I am suggesting the installation a new 80gb hdd (master) and install xpsp2 home edition or pro (have not decided yet which) on it and use the old one (salve) as backup for all existing data, then when everything is running well, maybe a few weeks, then as a spare hdd for regular backup.
I do not wish to use or reformat the old drive as I am not yet sure all the sofware will operate under xp.
Is this feasible or am I going to encounter difficulties accessing the data on the old hhd after installing xp in order to migrate it to the new one. 98 uses fat32 as oppose to xp ntfs.
The pc is a pentium4 2400 with 256mb ram, it should take it I hope as it was built for that.
