Hmm. This didn't work too well for me. XP went and did a parallel installation. Result?
A brand-new desktop, registry and a hard-drive full of applications which no longer
worked.
The problem to resolve is how to make WinXP install under the same path as my old
windows directory, so you don't end up with application data referencing \WIN98 when
it needs to be \WINDOWS. Rather a nightmare, I feel.
I'm about to try the NTBACKUP save system state option, but I'm sure I'll end up
with a Windows system-root directory mismatch problem.
