The main hidden files that are new are the system.dat and user.dat files in \windows. These two files are the win95 registry. The other hidden files are in the root directory and are probably io.sys, msdos.sys, ibmbio.com, ibmdos.com, dblspace.bin. Also any hibernation files and swap files will be hidden but the OS should recreate them for you and you probably don't want to spend time copying those.
