ukie, I was given this WinXP Pro OS disk by a friend. He told me that I MUST change over to NTFS when switching from 98 to XP.
When I do format this and reinstall 98 I will also have to switch back to FAT, probably 32.

Also, apparently there are a lot of differences between the XP Home and Pro.
For one thing, Pro is designed for an office atmosphere with multiple users.
I guess some options are different too.

One of the main differences I've seen is that XP seems to be a bullseye for every virus freak, and hacker in the world.
I've had to install over a dozen patches, fixes, etc, none of which were required with 98.
Plus, as I mentioned before, XP sucks up over have my memory, causing everything to run slower.

I'm so tired of all the crap that I would be willing to trash my HD and buy a new one rather then run XP anymore.
It's too bad they don't have some sort of hand-held eraser, as they do with magnetic video tapes.......:)
