How can I transfer files and/or directories from an old computer
running WIN98(SE), FS32, to a new computer using FSNT, WINXP Pro.?

I don't have USB ports on the old computer. I do on the new one.

I don't have the ccomputers on a network, and I don't want to go
that route.

Thanks, w9nvc

   I would suggest one of two routes.
   One is to copy the files to removeable media, like CDs, DVDs, floppy disks, etc.
   The other is to remove the drive with the files on it from the old computer and hook it up to the new computer.  This requires opening up the computer cases on each computer.  The drive will show up as an additional drive on the new computer (if the new computer boots up into Win98 after adding the old drive, turn it off and connect the drive to a different cable or connector) and then transferring files will be easy.
