Those are pretty much what I found when I looked.

Well...I upgraded my comp over the weekend from 98se to XP Home and it's running better than ever. I was surprised how well it identified all my hardware and Uru: Beyond Myst runs much better as do Poser and my other programs. I have heard of problems with the SP2 upgrade but I have no personal experience of this. It is a right royal pain to go through all the reformatting and installing all the programs though
Did you have FAT32 or NTFS?

Just make sure when you run Service Pack 2, to close all other programs, turn off any screen savers, hybernation and stand by, anything that may interupt the install because on a fast machine the innitial install takes approx. 45 minutes. it could be longer on a slower machine. also as a side note, SP2 enables the windows firewall by default, so if you have problems with any virus software updating or any network utility not working correctly, that would be a good place to start trouble shooting. secondly, the NTFS file system is the better and faster one. I don't recommend compression as i have had problems with hard drive crashes when I enabled it. just remember that any FAT or FAT32 file allocation table dependant operating system will not be able to see the NTFS partition without XP running to share it.

NTFS is always choosen method for me. I have a notebook and it's running WinXP Pro SP2. The first time SP2 installed it crashed my hard drive after it re-booted the system and I had to start over again with it. But that wasn't so bad as I do all updates before installing any other software. So it was only a matter of re-installing XP. The second time I did not allow it to re-boot my machine when it was finished. I let the computer sit for about five minutes after that then re-booted and it took fine. Notebook is running like a champ but I cannot use a couple of programs on it that I do my desktop. This is alright also as those programs require a higher screen resolution than the 1024 x 768 that the notebook offers.
