WOW!
I did;
1. Create backup image of C: with Norton Ghost(to another disk, but another
partition would be sufficient).
2. Install.
3. Carry on (would have restored NG Image if there was a problem but there
wasnt.
Note, this procedure is (IMHO) better than relying on XP's restore points,
since it uses a backup mechanism outside of XP, and therefore no XP bug
caused by SP1 which might damage the restore points could affect it.
