http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?...4&itemid=23876 it should work fine. Having said that, it is ALWAYS good to have a backup plan. Mine is to save a drive image or clone the system drive to another drive(USB drives are handy for this). Check out Acronis True Image, Norton Ghost or any drive imaging software. I keep images of every machine I own(its a handy way to recover from a crash, a bad update or a nasty virus too). You could save images for several machines on the same large USB drive.

Re: windows xp service pack 3
Everyone, before making any changes to a drive should follow the advice Albee offers about cloning.

Re: windows xp service pack 3
all my songs are saved to an external hard drive so I shouldn't need to worry about that, right?

Re: windows xp service pack 3
Wrong. Unless by saved you mean backed up. Be sure you have your sessions backed up on at least two additional separate drives or other media.
Well, one additional drive is critical and two is advised.

Re: windows xp service pack 3
My system drive is backed up. The advantage if this is two-fold. First off, if it crashes, I can be back up and running in 5-10 minutes. The second thing is; if I install some update that goes sour and craps out my rig, I can restore to where I was in that same amount of time.
