Help me please!

[Shiva]

I just built my first system (1900+, Asus A7N266-C, maxtor 40GB, gforce3 64MB) and I'm running XP pro. My old system is a HP pavillion w/a PIII that came with Win 98 installed, a second edition upgrade cd and the HP system cd with all of the pre-loaded software.

My question is can I remove that version of windows 98 so I can put it on my new system? I have a older flight stick set up that wont work on XP, so I wanted to partition my HD and use both OS's. Thank you for any input you can provide.

My magic eight ball says

"Highly unlikely"

Buy a new flight stick.

What if you had other games that worked better on Win 98 too.....would you invest the $100 to by a new copy on Win98?

After partitioning , you will need a bootmanager .
Then hook up your old HD into the new system , you can just let it hang down the side , no need to bolt it in & transfer your files using xxcopy .
Make sure you set it to Slave .
