Well back up all your vital stuff (documents), reformat and make sure you have the CD key around.

Hmm....Partition Magic maybe might help ya. You could partition your hard drive (using PM) make a small one to install your OS into and keep your files on the other partition.

depending on your current OS, just do an upgrade.
Or, back up your vital stuff like he said.

I went from 98se, to RC1, to RC2, to Corporate, all using upgrades, and my system was flawless.

I dont know why people are so afraid to install XP, it's like any other OS out there, not to be rude. But it's simple man, dont sweat it.

As far as NTFS, you can use FAT32, that's what i used. Just read everything carefully when you run the Install program.

Once you install it, it will be perfect.

It's a great OS. Better than any other Window OS.
