Old Machine to New!! Help..Please?

[Darth Vapor]

So I built a new machine for my wifes friend for general purpose (no gaming etc..) it has vista installed.

Then my wifes friend says oh by the way we are on dial-up and have a older machine on win98 and only a dvd rom - no burner. (they will be going to broadband)

They want to keep the data from the old machine - how could I do this easily? I havent seen the old machine but I am guessing no network card.

Can I just install as a slave drive? any ideas?

If they want to keep the data then I would just back it up and copy their files to the new computer.

How do I do that without a burner? They only have ROM and the old 3.5 Floppy

I'd just use the older drive as a slave.

Or if you have a external hard drive you can copy the files to the external

You can do that and just copy the files over to the new system, then remove the slave drive.
