Be sure you have your original Windows media available, however, as the process will ask you for it. I've always found "any" upgrades to be marginally succesful, and even less so if there were any problems prior to the change in OS. This should also help insure that you don't have any problems with hardware recognition from stray DLLs and drivers, etc., that may be lurking on your hard drive. But remember to Read the Fantastic Manual (RTFM) before you do anything! :D [/B]
I have my Win 98SE disk, but I'm not sire the shop used it when they did the rebuild. A couple of times I have been asked to insert a disk with specific number designation and when I used my disk it wouldn't take it. As a sidelight it seems I am always getting the message that a certain dll file is missing and am asked to put the driver disk in the drive. Of course I have installation disks not driver disks and the installation disks never seem to have the dll file it is asking for. Bummer!!!
