That is pretty much what I am preparing to do right now. I have 16 windows open right now and all of them are related to this. I have at least two detailed how to's that offer step by step installation instructions so I have everything I need. I have decided to go through with the full install, I am confident I will be OK. I'm just going through the info and getting the disc's I need, ready for the installation. I just wanted to ask here about the things that I was not 100% about. If I run into any problems I'll ask here. Once again thanks to everyone who had some input.
