For those of you who are NOT certain you're are going to have a trouble free install (and you NEVER "know" for certain!), I highly recommend you go out and buy a copy of Norton Ghost 2002 and make a image file of your current C drive before upgrading. That way, you can always go back to 98se / ME if you have any problems, and it will only take a couple of minutes. And you can use it to make a image file of your XP drive once you have that all working well.

It beats the heck out of a few hours of install time if you DO have a problem...

There's nothing in it for me. I just really think the program's a lifesaver.
