Thanks I may well settle for that. I just didnt want to confuse anything with having two different operating systems such as XP and Vista, although I suppose really all I shall do is boot up with Vista and use the old XP drive for anything I cant copy across, such as some programmes etc.

I don't have Vista so I don't know how compatile it was with XP, 98 and XP
were very compatible I could run most of the stuff directly from where I copied it too,
If not I just redownloaded and installed it. Then maybe you need to export and import your explorer and outlook settings or copy the data into the appropiate folders if you know where they are. I didn't really have any trouble really, in a way it was nice to 'start afresh', I had tonnes of stuff I downloaded and never used and I could not even remember what half of it was for :rotfl:
So it was one way of doing a bit of 'spring cleaning', although it is still there should I ever need it.
