I am building a new computer and want to partition the
40Gb HDD as C: 25Gb and the D: as 15GB.
Then I want to install my (ALL my software programs are
legal copies} of WIN 98SE (FAT 32 Format, Office Pro etc),
and all my other and associated programs and files on the
smaller partition, (bacically clone my current HDD, and
then install WIN XP on the larger partition, and
eventually getting and installing the newer programs (EG:
MS Office Pro for XP etc) that won't work properly with
XP, in the XP portion, then transfer the data and files to
XP.
Can this be done without problems?
We both are working on our family trees, and have huge
amounts of data there, as well as everything else we have.
My wife originally had WIN 2000Pro, and its multiple
problems, took it back to vendor, had the HDD reformatted
and bought XP Home. It formatted the drive with the "net"
type format. Can separate partitions have the different
formats, and work?
If I just buy XP upgrade, would it save all my files,
programs and data, even tho they wouldn't always work
correctly?
Being on SS and a small pension I cannot justify the
cost of XP and all the associated programs all at once,
and I want to be able to link my old 266MMX laptop via
WIFI to current computer and new computer and wife's
computer, and I want to be able to access legal public
WIFI sites when we are away from home. Supposed to be
easier with XP
Sorry it's so long, but not Xp-smart enough to do better!
Email, please (delete XXXX's) as I might not be able to
find this site again Thanks, John
