Yes 128Mb is ok.

Two options really.

1. make sure that your Windows XP disc is the full version and not a upgrade version, also check to see it is bootable! If it is bootable and the full version, just format the hard drive using a dos disk1 etc! boot off the cd and install smile.gif

2. as above, upgrade windows 98 running the cd from windows and i think it does ask you if you want to reformat the hard drive when the pc reboots. iamwithstupid.gif

Can i just delete the Win98 files and leave all my other bits intact on the HD or do i need to backup all my stuff?

I have one 128 chip at the moment, i might buy a 256 from crucial and run both, only problem is working out if i have non ecc parity or not - can i find out without taking the pc to bits?

DHA - It will wipe everthing including any data that you have on your C drive, if you have another partition then copy your data onto that b4 you run the install. If you dont then back it up 1st including email addy's export it to a .pst (personal folders)
