There is an old computer which I want to install WinXP on it, while retaining its Win98. I want the two OS to be completely separate from each other and each runs its own installed applications, and has absolutely nothing to do with each other.

The hard drive now is partitioned into C and D, C being the Win98 OS and installed programs, while D is personal data. Should I install XP in C or D partition? Or should I create a new partition within C or D (let’s call it E), this way if either OS screws up, I can restore only that partition using TrueImage or something similar?

Also how much space do I need to install XP?

I really managed to screw up my windows somehow when messing with partitions. I have some very valuable information in my c drive that I still need, however I cannot boot up windows. Ubuntu boots up just fine of the internal hard drive. Basically how can I copy the files from my c drive in windows to my external so after I reformat I can sift through the files and get what I need out?

The OS i want to install is Windows Black. I have 85gb free space on my hard drive.

In my hard drive, i have a local disk c and a disk d. The disk d doesnt say local disk d. im just wondering cuz local disk c is almost full and if it’s full, will the things go to disk d.

I go to the phone and modem in the control panel and it just shows one of my modems not two like on my old HD.My old hard drive had a OEM OS installed and the OS i installed is not.This is my first OS installation and i’ve tried everything and still cannot connect what am i doing wrong?

Which one is good, really easy to use, can make both animated and unanimated graphics, and takes up little space in your hard drive?
And what do you guys reccomend for a beginner like me, who has NO clue on how to make graphics?
And is there anything I can find in GIMP,Photoscape or Photofiltre that I won’t find on the other?
Thanks..Best answer gets 10 points..

I need to erase the hard drive. It’s the one and only hard drive on the computer. I don’t have the OS or boot disc. I have XP. I need to erase everything because I am getting rid of the computer.
