I have a home lan network. on it I have a windows xp
professional computer and a windows 98 second edition
computer. I would like to copy the entire contents of the
hard drive on the windows 98 computer onto the hard drive
of the windows xp computer. There is plenty of disk space
available on the xp computer. I would like to copy into a
specific folder on the xp, a folder I have created for
that purpose.
I have complere access to the hard drive on the 98
computer, and when accessing it through the network I can
read any file on it.
both computers are on my desk, so i can work on either one
or both. If i can accomplish the copying, I intend to get
rid of the 98 computer.
thank you.
