I have purchased (at MIT Swap Meet :) WXP Pro CD and plan to install over WXP Home (which has crashed 'unable to recover hive' or some such thing) on wifie's Acer. If I install from CD on C:, will I lose wifie's data, or will that remain?
Also, is there a way I can boot from the WXP CD before the install, so as to xcopy all her data files over to a thumb drive, before the install? (Just in case some thing goes wrong.) Or can I boot from a W2K disk? (Will that read NTFS?) Although I don't enjoy this, I welcome the practice because one day one of my TPs will crash too Tks for all help Jeffrey Race _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
