what are you transferring the win98 stuff to? win98, windows-other, gentoo? in any case, make the new hd your primary one (primary master), and the old one secondary (primary slave or secondary master).

However, if you _don't_ reinstall from CD, you may miss some essential registry settings and other stuff that windows puts all over the place. I'd recommend reinstalling from CD, then copying your old contents over the newly installed one. Lastly, what does the program do?
