I am upgrading a COMPUTER at my office. The current one is very old, has windows 95! There is a very important program with lots of important info that I need to have in the new puter. Problem is this program is in DOS format! They have newer programs for windows now, but if I purchase one of these programs (atleast $1000) will I be able to transfer the files from the old program? Or can I transfer the old program right ONTO the new puter? I am not very computer literate if you haven't noticed, so I kinda need some help.......
Thank you to anyone who has any info for me!!!! :-?What program is this ? ?

You cannot just copy a program and expect it to work...

Another option WOULD be to use a dual boot setup and install the Win95 HDD into the new machine. Cleanest WAY to do this is to check to see if the new machines BIOS supports booting from more than one drive.

patio. 8-)Hi Patio, thank you for responding...... The program is called ServMaster by CDR Technologies, who don't seem to exist anymore. It is a service program for Air Conditioning companies. We keep customers name, address, equipment model and serial numbers, and service history.

Not sure what dual boot setup or BIOS means :-/ but I appreciate your help Basically it means that when you start your computer you hit a key (mine is delete ) and then a menu comes up asking which hard drive i want to boot from...in your case since i'm assuming you are upgrading to XP your choices would be the XP hard drive or the Win98 hard drive...this would give you the best of both worlds and suit your needs.

Most newer machines have this option already in the BIOS so just find someone in your area who is knowledgeable about these things and doesn't want to charge you and they can walk you thru it in about 5 or 10 minutes...
Good Luck !
