Sounds good, but can I still get W98SE to boot from the same HD after
installing XP?
We also put a new 160Gig HD in before upgrading to XP. The old 30Gig HD is in
as a slave just
like it was before the upgrade to XP. Is it possible to boot from it? If so
that would be
the best of both worlds.

Easiest fix if y ou have hardware dependant DOS items to run is to dual
boot - 98SE and XP with XP being your default and install the DOS programs
under the 98SE boot. My wife has a DOS based embroidery program that uses
the LPT1 port that I had to do this with and it works AOK.
