Re-Na, With all the trouble you've been having, why not stick the 98 harddrive in the xp machine and transfer your files that way? gcox ----- Original Message ----- From: "G.R.

I finally decided to start burning things to a cd that I want on the new xp machine from the old win 98 pc. I just doing know how to 'install' or 'add' these items using xp. I know how to do it on the old computer. I have one cd burned so far. Please let me know. Also, I have one folder with a LOT of mp3 songs in it. If I had to burn all that to cd's, it would take a while. Anyone think of a faster way to transfer those music files?
