When my wife's computer was upgraded in early January, we could not get the system to boot properly with the XP on her system. We did a repair install and it worked fine after that.

The only thing I'm worried about with a 'repair install' is that I've got SOOOOoooo many data files in my Olympus and Canon image folders and I don't have enough DVDs to hand in order to back them all up and off the hard drive (c: of course!). Which means I've got to drag my sorry tail out of the house and down to the local Fry's Electronics for a spindle of DVD-DL discs. Ugh! Load the mobility scooter, drive to the store, circle endlessly until a disability spot comes open, unload the scooter, wander aimlessly through said warehouse until I find the spindle... Yech! (And with 250GB of data to move from the two hard drives, I'm not gonna go with the regular DVDs; nope, gonna get the DLs!)
Oh well, I've been meaning to move all those images to back-up anyway. Sigh.
