Does anyone here know of a Windows 98 equivalent to
this mailing list?  I need one question answered, but 
if someone here was willing to do so, I'd be very happy
not to have to mess with a Windows list.

Question:  I'm converting from an all-SCSI system to a
hybrid that will have an IDE hard drive.  (I can't fight
the prices any more!)  Is there any way that I can convert
what is presently on the SCSI drive to the new system, 
without reloading the OS and all the apps from scratch.
I'd like not to have to reload WP, AutoCad, etc., especially
since some are upgrades, and would require 2 or 3 earlier 
programs to be installed first, for no reason except to
permit the upgrade to install. 
(Yes I know I can copy the _data_ files from WordPerfect,
AutoCad, etc.)

New machine will have SCSI--different card--but could have
old card for a little while, or forever, for that matter.
New machine will have "old" SCSI format, just enough to 
isolate cd-r from rest of system, for example.  SCSI-2.
Also to allow JAZ drives to plug in and work.

Of course, the humongous drive will have Linux on it, right
after W98, which _insists_ on being first.  Any caveats
there are welcome.

Please copy replies to the list. I'm probably one of few
but not alone with this kind of question.

BTW, this is a great list.  I don't read everything, since
I have a life to live, but there is a whole heck of a lot of
expertise here!

TIA for any help I get.  --doug
