?? on switching slave drives win98 from/to winxp

hello,I plan or want to use a hard drive between point a and point
b,on my end,i use win98 and the programming I keep on it,is too hard
to set up on the other pc which is on winxp,so if I run a hd that is
in my win98 machine,will it be able to be read and written to in the
windows xp machine as a slave drive only,no OS master,please email me
back at yhz_747 at direcway.com

Email support not available - sorry.

Windows XP and Windows 98 both understand the FAT32 file system. However,
there is no guarantee that the two machines you are using will both access
the hard drive in the same way. If that happens then the drive may be seen
as unformatted or it may seem to have a very large number of errors on it.

Instead of a hard drive, use a USB memory stick or similar device, and copy
the data from the device to the hard drive.

wont work
the programs installed on the drive, still set up registry keys, and shared
files on the boot drive
those wont be available on the xp system when you just carry the drive over
the programs still arent installed on the xp machine

thanks guys,the program that I wanna run does not have to be
installed,its Agent news reader and it runs from anywhere,I don't even
know why they call it being installed cause I can run 2 copies from
different dirs,as far as I know Agent,only needs to be exploded from
the archive,which is what they called being installed,but if that does
happen,then I have agent on the other machine anyway,but its really
hard to update headers in both machines,thats why I just wanna run it
from the slave hd in this win98 machine.The most I need to do is copy
mp3 files from the pc in the city cause I don't wanna record to cd
with out having prepared the files on my end for storage.I work the
alt.binaries.sounds.mp3 groups.I have right now 3 gb of collections
waitin on the other pc.don't wanna waste cds right away for a
transfer,just to get them home here.Heck,I can't even make cds right
now cause my careless family in there have put a dvd writer in the
machine thinking it was what I wanted haha.We tried to write mp3s
directly using a program called hyperlink or cyberlink or whatever its
called and it messed up cds on me.But anyway...I will give it a
try,the most I will want to do if Agent will not run off that HD is
just copy mp3s onto it then,do u know if that simple routine will
work..I'll check the replies on Sat pm,I don't go in till mondays
anyway to spend time at the familys unlimited cable dsl haha.thanks
