I'd go one step further. I'd suggest not upgrading Microsoft OSes unless your current one is so flaky it won't work. If you want a new OS, buy a new computer with that OS pre-installed. Then you don't have to worry about compatible drivers. Microsoft does have an "HCL" available...Hardware Compatibility List. Or, they did for NT and Win2k. Assuming they'll do the same with XP. In my experience, the best way to install an OS is to *completely* wipe the harddrive. I don't even know if "fdisk" exists anymore. The "upgrade" options are the buggiest way to install a Microsoft OS. Too many variables. Eric - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
