Hello All,
In the next couple of days,I'm going to upgrade from 2K to XP
Pro.My drive is partitioned into 3 driver:C=2K,D=Apps and E=Docs.
If I format and install Pro(on C drive) will it still run my
programs from D drive or will I have to reinstall everything?

From what you say, I gather you`re going to put XP on
the C: partition.
If you wipe the C: drive, you`ll wipe the Registry.
Therefor a lot, (most of) your apps on D: Won`t work.
The Apps probably have references in the Registry.
Of course if you have the Apps to reinstall afterwards,
then go ahead.
HTH.
