    XP Pro install

    Just got XP Pro and was wondering if anyone had any tips on installing.
    I plan to do an upgrade to 98 for now and then a new install after I learn the new OS.

    I have a P4 2.26GHz, 2 120gigabyte drives set up as RAID0, DSL with a Router, 2 computer network (the other computer has WindowsMe on it).

    Wasn't there some problem installing XP on large drives???
    Also another problem upgrading from 98 where some directory does not get deleted???

    Thanks in advance!

    Upgrading is not a great idea. A clean install is better. Have your RAID drivers ready on a floppy and press F6 when "text-mode" setup begins. If your motherboard is more than 2 years old, press F5 too and load the Standard PC HAL. You'll know when you see it.
