Win98SE to XP

Hi

In the summer I'm going to see a friend in the South of France. I know
that he has a W98 machine with only one partition and everything's in
it.

Let us suppose that he buys a British PC with XP already installed
into one cathedral like partition. How should we proceed to transfer
from one machine to the other, hopefully using Acronis or Ghost 2003?

I imagine that I should take out the new hard drive and jumper it as
slave. Connect it to the W98 system and clone it to the slave. Then
transfer the drive to the new system and jumper it as master. It
should then run as a W98 machine.

If I had an XP upgrade disk instead of a new installation one would I
then be able to turn it into a new machine running XP.

What does anybody think. I expect Anna shall have something to say
about this.

Best wishes

Colin
