Dual Hard Drives

I'm about to dive in and get myself a new system. with Windows XP
Professional. Right now I work with Win 98SE and have a lot of "stuff" I
don't want to loose. After reviewing a lot of info about dual hard drive
installations, I'm wondering if I can open the box of the new machine, set
the jumpers, power supply and ribbon connection to make the Windows XP pro
the slave drive and simply take the Win 98SE drive out of the old computer
and install it as the new primary hard drive,.close things up and press on
about business. This sounds way too simple, so where am I wrong and what's
the right way of doing this. I now there's a conflict in file systems FAT32
versus NTFS?? Thanks for any advice.
