I put a new hard drive on my computer and set it as the
master and left my old hard drive on as the slave. I was
using Windows 98 and when my hard drive failed I put
Windows XP on my new hard drive. I sure could use some
help in retrieving files off my "slave" to the "master"

Any help would be very much appreciated!

There are several procedures that will accomplish this.
But for me, I just burned them to a CD and copied them to
my new harddrive. Don't forget Win98 files are FAT and
XP files are NTFS, in most cases. Good luck.

That is irrelevant if they are on two separate drives.
