OT: Operating System Upgrade

Note:
You don't have to wipe all the drives.

Only the particular partition of the particular drive you're going to be installing to.
You can move all the generic files you want to keep to the other drive for safekeeping.

I wouldn�t upgrade, way too many limitations. What I would do is buy another drive and then do a dual boot. That way you get the best of both worlds. You can still run your legacy software on 9x. As for files, not apps, you�ll be able to access them from XP.

Interesting idea...

Someone once posted the method for creating a dual-boot system, but IIRC, doesn't XP have to be on FIRST? Anyone have a link where I can read up on that?
