Have an HP Pavilion 8380 running Windows 98.  System is becoming more and more unstable and want to reinstall and start from scratch.

I purchased a Mad Dog Dominator 6-in-1 Dual 8X DVD +- R +- RW burner (model MD-8XDVDRW-PM).  Want to use the burner to back up the system prior to reinstall.  However, the package indicates compatibility with 98SE, but not 98.

Would I be able to install burner with just Win98 and back up the system, or am I barking up the wrong tree?

As an alternative, I have a new hard drive, Ghost and Partition Magic.  Do I install the new hard drive, duplicate my hard drive with Ghost and go from there?

What to do?
