    one more XP question

    I installed xp pro several months ago, leaving win98 on my c drive and installing xp on my d drive. I kept 98 because not all drivers were available for some of my hardware at the time in XP. Now I have gotten all the drivers I need, and xp runs smoothly. I would like to bitch my 98 system. Because I am set up for 2 operating systems, can I do a format C, or will this fuck up the system? Any help appreciated.

      Honestly? And no this isnt a rip on amputate...

      Format, and reinstall win xp fresh...

      I've had a ton of issues that popped up, crashing, etc... go away with a fresh install of win xp..

      Backup your drivers, and spend 45 min readin a book while it installs...

      =)

          BEST ADVISE... I worked for dell tech supprt and i did about 10 of these a day. It would be your best route to go. So start backing up your data

              Very true. I spent a day recently just backing up to re-install xp after all the kinks were worked out. Runs fresh and clean. Also surprisingly, things you thought you needed outside drivers for you actually don't when you have a clean slate with XP, especially since most manufacturers have caught up!
