O/S install
I've recently decided to make the upgrade from windows 98 to XP. I have 2 hdd's and want to install Xp on the 20gig (my primary). What is the best way to transfer all my stuff to the 60gig and clear the 20gig to install? Or should I install it before clearing the 20gig?

Just slave the drives together and start dragging over your data. When you're sure you've got everything (email, links, documents, etc), then install XP and reformat the disk durning the installation.

Just for safety reasons I would unhook the 60 gig before you reformat for XP. You don't want to make a mistake and format the wrong drive.
