spinhead - i never trust the upgrade, been down that road too many times.
if ur gonna change Osystems then it has to be clean, it s the only way to
ensure everything is going to function as it should (well thats the theory
anyway)

I have "tried" to use it...I purchased the RC's from Microsoft when they
first offed them,
and ever since, I have formatted (literally) 20 times and still am unable to
get them to
work (both RC1 and RC2)....I have two 46 Gig drives with 7 partitions (4 on
one and 3 on
the other)...Once XP is installed, it only recognizes them as 32.1 Gig
Drives...There was
even one instance where it wouldn't even see the second drive at all.....

I know that these problems exist for the Corp. edition (just as they did
with Windows
2000); so I am hoping that the "Home Edition" will cure this problem (just
as ME did after
2000)...My recommendation (unless someone has a solution) for anyone with
hard drives
larger than 32 gigs is to stay away from XP for now - as they will patch the
heck out of
it.....
