I'd suggest he invest in an online file share instead of using the usb. I know 
godaddy has 1 GB space for $10 a year - other services are available. If he 
only needs a measly 10 meg, novell's demo ifolder is great (I use it for 
sharing templates, sigs and other small files between computers) - if he can 
find a service that uses ifolder and offers more space, get it. It's very 
automatic - unlike the godaddy service.

I have a friend who would like to use an old Win 98 computer as one he can 
use at his house on the beach.  He would like to convert it to Win XP and 
put the programs he has at home on the beach house computer and then update 
each with a USB flash drive.  Essentially he will have two computers with 
similar configurations (not exactly the same).

What is the easiest way to put Win XP on the old computer that presently 
has Win 98?  Does he have to format the drive and reinstall or can he 
install XP on top of Win 98? (assume he has the proper installation disks).

If he has to format what is the easiest way?
