The hard drive on the computer that I use to keep all of my technical notes and emails is just about full.Its already about 6yrs old but I would like to keep using it.It has win.98. I am going to try to replace the hd myself but would like some advice in keeping my old files from my old drive.How do I go about transferring the old files to the new hard drive or can I keep the old drive and still install the new one. If this is done (2 drives),how do I go about retreiving files from the old drive since the new one will be the master. Not all that familiar with computers but would be a learning experience since its on my own computer.Thank you very much for your advice.
