170952 2003-08-27 10:41:00 I'm about to move a PC from Win98 to WinXP home, doing a clean install. I think I know what I'm doing, but just in case, how does this procedure look?

1. Move everything I want to keep off my C: drive.

2. Increase C: partition to 5gig with Partition Magic.

3. Boot from Windows startup disk.

4. Format C:

5. Win XP u/g disk in CD-ROM drive.

6. From C: prompt, run setup.exe from CD. (Or can I boot directly from the WIN XP disk?)

7. Insert Win98 CD when prompted for verification.

8. Hope for the best... B-)
