 Thread : Migrating files from Win98 to XP

Just got a new pc with XP and need to move digital pics to the new one.  The  
old pc runs Win 98 (first edition, NOT SE) and doesnt have a cd burner.
My plan was to save the digital pics and a few other files from My Docs to  
my Jumpdrive and move them that way.  However, I found out only 98 SE  
supports flash drives.  How/where can I get the 98 SE upgrade cd??
I tried Windows Update but dont find the service pack.
Any ideas??
Thanks!

Hi,
 
For the Win98SE Upgrade CD, you'd have to haunt auction sites. It hasn't  
been available in over a year.
 
You would be better off networking the machines together with a hub or  
crossover cable.
