XP install in place of ME
I want to install XP on my C: drive which now has WinME.
I was told that XP would re-format C: but instead it gives me a warning that I already have an OS on C: and that XP may not function properly.
There is also an option to delete C: partition and create a new one.
I am running Partition Magic and have ME on C:, Data on D:, NTFS on E:, Win2k on F: and so on......
Will XP use the same size partition? If not I'm afraid it would mess up the rest of my partitions.
Another question:
Can I use a Startup disk, format c: and then find the Setup file on the XP CD?
