transferring data, windows 98 to windows xp

Posted: 11-13-2003, 10:47 AM
Hi, I have just bought a new PC which uses windows xp
dos. This system does not recognise text files and some
photographic files which were stored on re-write disc
using my old windows 98 powered computer. As some of this
data is very important to me, can anyone advise me how to
transfer windows 98 files to windows xp?

Many thanks for any assistance you may be able to give.

Do you have the applications installed on your XP machine that were used to
create your old files?
they CAN'T be text files, as Notepad in XP will open Text files.

an RTF format. But I found out the hard way that it won't
change spreadheets to that format.
