file transfer from 98 version 1 to XP home

[Jeff Baziuk [MSFT]]

If both computers have Network cards I would use a cross
over cable between the two computers. You can use the
Net Use command to browse to shares on each computer by
IP address\share.

If it's a one off your best bet is to temporarily connect the old hard
disk to the new machine.
