I am going to upgrade(new install) to wxp and would like to save my current login/passwords for various sites I've joined. I would then like to reinstall those pws when I am finished with the wxp install. Is this possible?
Thanks

Another question - I have a Linksys. Is it OK to have it attached while I install xp pro?

Lobo - do you use XP? And if so, how's it working out?

Hum,... no sticking with the NTFS? I kind thought that's what it's all about?
And what about the allocation size unit? Default for that?

Why FAT32?

Lobo - I assume that I will be prompted by xp to delete all drives and partitions, create new one, and format using FAT32?

You guys are great! Thanks for your help!

I am going to format my HD for XP Pro for a clean install. Any advice? I am running w2k. How do I begin to format the HD? I'm going to do it from from the command prompt? c:\format c:

Also, I am wondering if I need to worry about my ethernet card being compatible withXP Pro. Is this a concern ...

Hey, I just want to say - Thanks!!!! to Richardc, the dude, Ken, Lobo, for helping a novice like myself and for all your help. It's nice to know people are out there trying to help others without being malicious.

I'm working with the anti-virus sofware - maybe that's it.

I'm using w2k, not xp.

Add and remove IE 6.0 and then reinstall?

Also, how do you break a hd partition?

I have c: and f: I want the partion broken and added back c:

Ken, it's IE 6.0. w2K. I cannot figure out why I still get x-outs. I actually went to MS webssite and downloaded SP2. That seemed to make things worse. Then I re-laoded w2k. I called my local cable company as well. They were helpful but still things remained the same. This morning I received update ...

Well, here's another one. I tried all the rwin values. I didn't see much difference. But now I seem to have a problem with incomplete web pages?!!! x-outs instead of full pages being displayed. What's up with that?

Lobo - Thanks for the instructions. I am wondering which tweak programs to use? Speedguides or Chestnuts?

Now, which do I go with? The ones above or the Cablenut?

Thanks, Keytone
