[mswindowsxp] Re: Re-install

That's not totally true! :-O  If he installs over the current OS, he 
will have to re-install all the programs previously installed. Now if 
we're talking data such as letters, Doc's, spreadsheets and the such. 
No, that won't be lost, but what I would highly recommend is, to backup 
all the data you wish to keep, wipe the drive clean and do a clean 
install of XP when he aquires XP cd.
