FAT32, NFS and Knoppix

[Scott Lawton]

I have a friend who will be getting a new computer soon. Her Win 98 box 
is going to hell - apparently big time MoBo problems.
The new machine will run Windows Xtreme Prejudice [XP] like all the 
other computers in her home and graphic design business.
She wants a Dell; I told her about CyberSource, but she still wants a 
Dell - go figure.

She wants the files in My Docs and certain subdirectories of Prog Files 
copied  to the HD of the new box, if possible .
The 98 HD is FAT32, but I think that XP uses NTFS, and NTFS doesn't seem 
to interface well with much else [my impression].

My question is this - Could I mount the old  drive in the machine as 
slave, and boot with Knoppix to copy the aforementioned files to  an XP 
partition on the master, then have them recognized on the next XP boot ?

Once the needed files are copied, then the slave will be able to be 
reformatted to XP partitions.
