Did you run the Windows XP Upgrade Advisor? |

I'd advise either starting with a new computer, or wiping your hard drive (after backing-up) first. Prepare for plenty of things to be broken. Run every service pack you can before moving anything from your back-up. Good luck man. |

Houston I have a problem! I have an HP 9300 Series CD Writer on this here Dell of mine. It make wonderful CD's of my music files, and to be honest I never back anything up. Now I go try to do an HP Simple Backup and the sucker freezes. Ctrl-Alt-Del Program not responding. So now I get the disk out and reinstall the software all over again. Complete! Go back to HP Simple Backup Frozen again! WTF??? |

You might be better off slaving an additional hard drive to do the backup (they're very cheap). I don't think 98 has native USB support, but you may be able to use a USB PCI card to connect an external - which you can always use. |

It's been a long time since I've seen a 98 system - I thought W98 didn't support USB. If they work - I would buy an external hard drive. They are the best opotions for backup now. I use mine all the time. I'm waiting for the prices to come down on the network attached storage drives (NAS). That would be the best alternative in a wireless environment. |
