Hey Sharon - I started a new thread called "Upgrade from 98SE by
installing XP to it's own partition, the best way to upgrade?????" and
I'd really love your input on it if you can spare the time (since we
appear to be approaching thing similarly). Basically, rather than
start clean (too time consuming), or upgrade (too much risk of 'dirty'
windows directory and other problems), I'm thinking the best compromise
is to install XP to a different partition than 98SE (perhaps to a new,
additional partition created solely for the XP O/S), and then re-install
the apps that need it. I'd use the migration wizard to move registry
settings and app-specific files stored in the windows directory. All the
APPs and data files stay where they are. Small Apps, shareware, etc,
mostly probably run Ok without re-install. For everything else I'd just
have to do a re-install in place, which isn't too painful. WIll it
work? Is it worth the effort over a simple upgrade? Is XP happy in
like the E: or F: partition? Some advantages are that for apps that
aren't xp-compatible I get dual boot, and the partition i have to image
is small.
thanks!!!!!!
