My current setup is:
Drive C
Partition 1 (C) 98SE
Partition 2 (E) XP Home
Partition 3 (F) XP Home
Drive D
Data Only Partition (D)
After using XP for awhile, I would like to replace the 98SE operating system with a clean install of XP. (There will be three instances of the same os on the system.) If I start in the partition running 98se and use the XP install cd selecting new install, will this install process remove\replace the files that are in the c:\ directory and needed to boot xp? IE are these files something that I need to worry about in this scenario, or does the install take care of this?
I hope I am understandable..any help would be appreciated. I have seen info about replacing the c:\ partition with an older ver of windows but not about replacing with another instance of XP.
Any help would be apreciated!
