I recommend the "how to" here too, however - three questions - #1 do you have or plan to acquire PM 7 (in case you plan on resizing or creatng partitons) and #2 - are you going to use the system restore (this takes up a lot of hard drive space). System restore is handy but really only on the OS partition, which in your case could be subsantial. #3 - what do you paln to do if you "really" like XP -
wipe out WinMe and start all over again from scratch? - DO NOT UPGRADE.
