| 191083 | 2003-11-11 23:55:00 | My home PC HDD Partitions are set up as C:Win98SE and E:WINXP. I have had the setup for sometime and can obviously dual boot. I'm satisfied now with XP and wish to replace Win98SE on C: with XP. To do this I will either upgrade Win98SE with XP or I will do a clean install of XP on C: recomendations? Will I be able to migrate all or any of E: to C: once the install has completed? If so should I remove the E:Xp entirely and use E: to store various programs other than XP, or can the two live in harmony and could I boot to either? My address book and favorites would need to be migrated and I think I could do this by using Export/Import - would I be right? Thanks, Bryan. |

Do a clean install on a formatted C: drive. > Will I be able to migrate all or any of E: to C: once the install has completed? If so should I remove the E:Xp entirely and use E: to store various programs other than XP, or can the two live in harmony and could I boot to either? They could live in harmony and you could boot to either but in the long run it gets a bit messy not to mention takes up room. It is better to reinstall your programs from scratch on the C: drive after formatting and installing XP then when you have everything running sweetly wipe XP off the E: drive to store your data on. No point in wasting valuable space with the old install of XP. > My address book and favorites would need to be migrated and I think I could do this by using Export/Import - would I be right? Yep, or just copy the appropriate folders over to C: into the same folders as they currently are on E:. |

| 191085 | 2003-11-12 01:04:00 | You can try the File and Settings Transfer wizard in xp. But i think it will only do so much. | BootyLicious (526) | ||
