I don't know much about XP, but with Windows NT and W2K you could create a
15MB Windows 98 partition on your new hard drive and keep your document and
related items there. Windows would ask you at boot time which partition you
wanted to activate. You can probably do this with XP as well. It's been a
popular technique for the past seven or eight years for solving just the
problem you describe: incompatibility between the old app and the new OS. Do a
web search on "dual boot" for the step-by-step. Sorry I can't provide it.
Be mindful of a possible difference in file formats between W98 and XP.
