My first mistake was to buy WindowsXP OEM that is non
returnable to replace WindowsMe. That disk is for new
computers. I understand there are a couple of ways to
install this anyway. I'm leary of creating a double boot
because of space or other hassels. There are some
programs that came pre loaded on this Dell, ie Photoshop
5, that I have backed up and the serial number I have.
The problem with the Roxio CD back up is that the files I
save can only be changed if I open up the program first. I
don't know if this back up will work at all. I use this
program a lot and don't want to lose it and can't afford
to buy new.
I'm trying to decide which is the best way to install xp.
If I don't double boot, I'm told that I should uninstall
Window Me first, then install xp. Should I also delete
every thing off desktop?
