how can we tranfer files from win98-xp and vice versa without copying into a cd and install them in a system?

Using a pen/thumb drive is the most efficient way. They some in different capacities. You should get the one with the largest capacity if you plan to move huge files.\n\nNote: This suggestion is for data files only. You can never move O/S or system files or even programs.

Many ways! Depends on your flavour! You can simply put the XP cd in and do a fresh install over win2k, you can buy a second hard drive and install XP on it and run two seperate operating systems (my favorite)!

Purchase a USB Cable.  You can tranfer files that way.

Although you probably shouldn't do it, if there is a cd-rom in the computer in question, yes you can.  There are several ways to go about doing this.  I would suggest reading the following page & comments.\n\nhttp://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2006/09/02/how-to-hack-into-a-windows-xp-computer-without-changing-password/\n\nYou could also use the backtrack linux distros bootable cd available @ http://www.remote-exploit.org/index.php/BackTrack

Install them into your computer as slave drives and access them thru my computer.  Should be able to cut/copy and paste.  If you do not want to open the computer purchase an ide to usb cable or an external enclosure.  Simply make all of the connections and then do the same as an internal hard drive.  WinXP should automatically find  the drives and install the necesary drivers.  I have done it on several old 5.25" hard drives.  I use them as backups, nothing like extending the life of 7 yr old tech.\n\nFirst link ide to usb cables (I personally have the Bytecc)\nSecond link external enclosures\n\nHope this helps.

the easiest way would be to network the 2 together with a router if you have one and transfer the files straight from one to the other.\n\nYou can also do the Removable media thing as stated above ie: CD, floppy etc.\n\nand lastly, you can email em to yourself or I like to icq or msn messenger them as well.\n\nany of those should do ya just fine..*S*

Transferring files from one computer to another is no big deal, you just need to buy either a short crossover cable and directly connect your two computers or buy an extra patch cable with which to connect your laptop to your hub/switch/router at home. Then all you have to do is right click on the folder containing the files/folders that you want to share and select properties (for windows xp/2000) and under sharing and security select the option to share it over the network. Then all you have to do is open internet explorer and type &#92;&#92;<computer_name> where <computer_name> is the name of your computer (e.g. radicalhomepc).\n\nMoving programs over is not so easy. You can either try copying the corresponding folders in the Program Files directory and try to grab all the corresponding registry files and import them to your desktop's registry, or you can buy a program (probably ~50-60 dollars) that will copy your programs with varying degrees of success between computers. Probably the cheapest solution would be to install the programs anew on your computer and just import the files you want through what I covered on sharing files.

there are a few ways.\n1. purchase a CROSSED network cable. (regular network cables are straight-thru). Plug each end into the network jack on each computer. this will allow both computers to connect to each other.\n2. if you connect to the internet with a hub or router, you should be able to plug both computers into it and then share the c drive on your computer so you can access it from the laptop. copy the files you need.\n3. use a software like laplink\n4. usb to usb connection\n\nTo wipe the hard drive on the PC you an either delete all the files or do this:\n\n"If you want to format your drive when XP is installed, please try the following:\n\nSet your BIOS to boot to the CD-Rom or hold down the "F8" key to access the system. Perform the following.\n\n1. Start Computer booting from CD\n2. Choose Recovery Console (R)\n3. At the dos prompt type: "format C:" (without the quotes)\n4. If it asks for the "Administrator Pass Word", Type it in if you have one or just hit "Enter" to continue. If you use a password...\nRemember it. "WRITE IT DONE AND PUT IT IN A SAFE PLACE!"\n5. Commands that you can use, format (drive)/ Q (quick) FS/ (File system fat/ntsf)"\n\nI got this from the 2nd link below.

Partition Magic might be able to do it from outside Windows. You can download a free trial version from a link on this page at PC World's website. http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,7324,00.asp
