The Win 98 machine does have a USB slot. A friend, who knows a lot about 
computers came over and tried 2 of his flash drives in the old computer 
and neither worked. He did go to the website and installed drivers but 
nothing he did would get that old computer to run either of the flash 
drives. He's no longer able to help me so I'm stuck.

Thanks,
Bernadine

I have quite a few files and folders I would like to transfer from the Win98 to the XP and unless I use hundreds of floppy disks I can't do that. Is there a way to transfer files more easily and not cost me an arm and a leg? Can the old hard drive be linked to the newer computer? How? If not can the old hard drive be taken out and added to the newer computer? How? I'm not very good at understanding most of the answers you write to others, so could you please explain in easy terms.
