I'm running Millenium. When I try to install XP it's telling me nearly all of my hardware (printer, scanner, digital camera won't work after installation. Also when I can get it to even start installing it loads for 10 minutes then tells me theres an error in win32dll and I have an I/O confliction??? what the heck is going on? Millenium runs like a champ and have never had any problems. Thanks.

The WinXP CD should be bootable, boot from it and install there. You can also sonvert to NTFS and not loose and data.

Thanks much. Before doing this, wouldn't I need the Complete XP version to boot from it? I bought the upgrade only. Thanks again.

No, you can boot from the upgrade edition. Tex

You shouldn`t convert to an NTFS partition, cause NTFS is for security purposes, like businesses, and the overal performance of the HD is considerably slower, leave it to FAT32 . I recommend you jump into your Bios (CMOS), and "load optimized defaults", something similar to this. If that doesn`t help, maybe you should even unplug some hardware which is incompatible and making the conflict in xp installation. Good luck!

Hmm. NTFS is the best file system to use. As well as supporting compression, file and folder security it has many advanced features to prevent the loss of data. So if your XP crashed (unlikely) then NTFS has all sorts of logs and rollback features to keep your data safe. FAT doesn't have any of this. And yes because of this NTFS is slightly slower. But not as you would notice!
