Okay, I have PC with windows 98SE on it, it’s a 2.8Ghz Pentium 4, 512mb ram… with a sapphire radeon 9800 pro on it, and I thought, “might as well upgrade to XP”… so I am . But, I have a couple questions ; First off, should I uninstall my soundcard and graphics card drivers? ..And also my firewall and virus stuff before I upgrade? Basically I want to know what programs I should take off… so I don’t get any clashing… or something like that…

Next thing, in a thread “Egghead” mentioned something about the file system “fat32”… on windows 98, etc. I read that there’s file system NTFS which is supposed to be better… so, can I put it to NTFS? How would I do that when I’m upgrading? Does it ask me to make a choice, or do I have to do in the Bios? Anyway, if someone could explain that, I would much appreciate that. I’m not really “smart” with this stuff; so keep that in mind lol

I don't want to do a clean install because I do not want all my stuff erased. And my computer runs smooth.

Thanks!
