Upgrade Win98 to Win2000

I have a win98 machine with two HDs. Can I move all my data to drive D and then install a fresh copy of win2k on C: and then access D drive with a problem? In other words I want to backup my data on drive D.

Why don't you just install Win2k on drive D and leave your data on drive c?

OP
My data is on drive d, I want to install win2000 on drive C and leave drive D intact... I wonder if I can read drive D after I install win2000 (I should, right??? I can read FAT and FAT32 drives in win2000)

Yes, Win2k can read FAT, FAT32, and NTFS
