I think it might actually be easier to just purchase a harddrive
adaptor for
about $9
and temporarily connect the laptop's drive to your desktop

What do you mean by a harddrive adapter? What do you connect the hard
drive adaptor to on an old win98 that will work?

This adapter is merely pins that plug into the small disk drive
connector (for laptop) and a "full sized" disk connector in a desktop
PC.
Here's an example:

so you hook up the adapter to connect the laptop HDD to the desktop PC
( the adapter plugs into both exisiting cables). Hook up the power, turn
both PC's on, transfer the data - disconnect - put the laptop hdd back
and you're done.


Well, Bob, I am not sure how ones opens a lap to see the hard drive. It
sounds
daunting like you open a mechanical clock and all the springs jump out
at you!
