Hi, I'd like to move a virtual drive from a computer using Windows 98 to a computer
using Windows XP. I have all
the necessary software installed (netBEUI), Direct Cable Connection and File sharing
installed on the Win98 system. XP seems to use a networking protocol, I created a
new connection.
The two systems do recognize each other and know they're connected. Only problem
is, I get no explorer window that shows the other system or its drives, that would
let me commence to manually move files. I looked in "my computer," Explorer, etc.
and couldn't find any- thing about the opposite system on either one I'm connected
to.
I have a usb-to-usb cable but would rather not use it, as I've heard and witnessed
drives overheat and fail from
too fast data transfer. This is a one-time transfer and the
printer-port cable is just more convenient. Thanks for any suggestions.
