Either use a CD or a Network connection, or USB key if you can get it to work (some USB sticks refuse to work in 98SE)....

By CD I ment use a burning App to Burn all important files onto CD.

I had another Idea, Just put that 98SE hard drive into your XP PC as a slave drive, then you can just drag and drop / copy and paste all imporant files to where you want them.

If this sounds too hard ask a tech friend to help. :)
