You can copy the contents of the  "my documents" and "favorites" folders 
to one or more floppies or burn them to a CD. Then later copy them to 
the folders created by XP. This is assuming that you are changing the OS 
on a single computer. If you have one computer with 98 and another with 
XP, there are several ways including the foregoing. I would temporarily 
remove the hard drive from the 98 computer and attach it as a second 
hard drive to the XP computer, copy the folders to the first hard drive 
on the XP, and then reinstall the hard drive back in the 98 computer. Of 
course if you are going to dispose of the 98 computer, you could install 
the second hard drive in the XP computer and use it for data backup. 
When using the hard drive as a second drive, the jumpers need to be 
changed to have it be a "slave" drive.
