Should I defragment before installing XP

[Guest]

I just read a message about defragmenting. Should I defragment or do anything else before installing XP? I currently have Windows ME installed.

Suggest you back up everything and do a clean install.
You will be glad you did!

I would not bother. But you should defrag fairly soon after the upgrade
is complete. Before starting Read Gary Woodruff's article on upgrading
