Check your Win XP. There is a transfer wizard that will bring all of the information over to the new machine. I ran across it when setting up my Satellite 1410 this week. I don't recall exactly where it its, but use the help and keywords File Transfer or Transfer wizard. The parallel cable has to be a file transfer cable, not the standard parallel cable. On your win 98 machine, you can find out more about it by going to the help and looking for Direct (as in Direct Cable Connection or DCC). You will see that altho its called a parallel cable, there is a swap of a couple of the wires on one end.
