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?

I started to pounce on that, but he really said C=2K (for his W2K I
believe).
