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?
Drew

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.
Cheers,
This what I thought would happen.
Drew

What relic says, could also be true.
An Upgrade, is not as fierce as a new install.
Upgrading means replacing any existing files, so that the
`new` system works OK.

When do you plan to tell the stupid *** that he'll be struggling to run XP
on a 2GB partition?

For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down
in words with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived
it. There is, however, a class of fancies of exquisite delicacy which
are not thoughts, and to which as yet I have found it absolutely
impossible to adapt to language. These fancies arise in the soul, alas
how rarely. Only at epochs of most intense tranquillity, when the
bodily and mental health are in perfection. And at those weird points
of time, where the confines of the waking world blend with the world of
dreams. And so I captured this fancy, where all that we see, or seem,
is but a dream within a dream.
