Greetings,
Doing a fresh installation of WinXP on top of an existing WinXP came up with
the notice about this occurance, but also stated that ALL data would be lost
if I continue. I continued with the installation without a format, since the
format (NTSF) was already applied on the partition, expecting everthing to
be overwritten. I've discovered that under the C:\Document and Setting
folder hat there are two All Users folders (All Users / All Users.WINDOWS),
two Default User folders (Default User / Default User.WINDOWS), two
LocalService folders (LocalService / LocalService.NT AUTHORITY), and two
NetworkService folders (NetworkService / NertworkService.NT AUTHORITY). The
All Users.WINDOWS folder is the one being changed by the system as I install
things.
Question: Is there any known problem with this setup, that I may encounter,
where I should do the installation process over again?
I have already put in more than a day's worth of time in patches and
software installations before realizing this.
Thank you.
B.rgds,
