Ok I had Win 98 on my computer with IE 5.5, installed XP Pro in dual boot and have IE6 now. 98 died after a few weeks, and locks up in regular and safe mode. Problem is I have a TON of bookmarks in IE 5.5, is there a way to get them and save them via XP so I can transfer them over? An I know about import/export, but can't get 98 to work again, just goes in endless loops looking for drivers then restarts. Any help would be great, thanks.

if you can access the windows 98 partition from XP search for a "favorites" folder and the links should all be in there.. in 2k/XP is in docuements and settings/user/favorites or something, but I havent used 98 in forever so I dont remember where it keeps them, maybe in windows/profiles/user/favorites or something

edit - yep, the favorites folder should be in c:\windows\profiles\"user"\favorites

Valhalla1 you are a lifesaver, now I can just "swack" the other drive and start over. Thanks again.
