Hi, I need some advice about doing this project here. 
I have 2 pcs. I have a third almost finished. What I need to
do here is to remove a secondary hard drive from my favorite pc
and use it in the new 3rd pc. Tonight I moved all the files from
this 2nd drive onto the C:drive. I used the "move here" command,
and it took about 30 minutes but everything was moved to a folder
I had made on my C: drive. Now there is nothing left on the drive
I need but a recycled folder. So I now have no problem removing this
drive and putting it into the new third pc.
 What I would like to know is this: I have a  new13 gig drive I would
 like to put into my favorite pc. I would like to make it the new C:drive,
and install win98SE onto it. Currently I have just win98. Can I just set
the jumper onto the current drive with all (very much) major programs
and stuff on it, to slave, and then put this new drive in as the master,
fdisk and format it and put win98SE on it? Then as for the relegated
C:drive, with all my stuff on it, would those programs all have to be
reinstalled??? or would they still work from this drive now relegated to
D:drive???
Please could someone respond, I am definitely working on this today and
tomorrow. 
Sincerely,
Susan Stubbs
