ok, heres the deal, the urgent deal I'd have to add as I will have to
do this tomorrow morning so any help is MORE than appreciated.
I tried to get win98 to do the dsl-thang, wont work and quite frankyl,
I like win 2000 better anyway, so I recommended a switch (I am doing
this for a friend of a friend).
Basically what I am asking for: which is the easiest way to do the
switch?
Our starting point is this: win98 system, various partitions/hdds with
files as well as programms. I figure that hardware wont be an issue as
there is nothing more exotic than a swappable hdd and maybe a nokia communicator hookup.
I want to go the least painful way, obviously, for example moving all
files to one partition, formatting it (I dont even know if the
partitions survive a format or if I will have to stick to deleting)
and installing win2k to it.
How can I get rid of win98 clean and simple?
Programms I assume will have to be reinstalled due to registry
entries?
I should probably stick to fat32 on the w2k installation (even though
ntfs is better) since I dont want to go through the change on all the
other hdds and partitions!?
And as a bottom line: I am looking at how many hours of work?
