Installing XP RC1 - Advise please.

Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

 

I got my RC1 CD today so shall be installing it when I get home. I use Windows 2000 Pro at the mo.

 

Question is should I format and clean install XP or will the upgrade be ok? Not to sure on this one as a m8 installed one of the Betas and had problems upgrading from Windows 2K.

 

Many thanks

 

Davey out.

I have heard from many that an upgrade from Win2000 should work fine.

But I recommend that you use partition magic to partition your hard disk an install WinXP on a different partition. Doing it in this way you will have your 2000 intact and your WinXP installation on a new partition. If XP fails in some way you will still have your old os as backup. But if you dont want to keep your old os, just format the disk and install XP or just upgrade.
