I've get my hands on the XP Meda Center version and need to know something:
It wants to reinstall XP when I wack in the CD and tells me some files will be lost unless I do a back up of them.
Wich files will I loose?
(PS No, it's not a crack, hack or anything like that. It's the real McCoy!)

All of your documents, music, movies, photos etc!
Treat it as a fresh install, back up all of your documents and media first and make sure you have the CDs / installer packages for your applications

Yeah, I'd leave it until you absolutely need to reinstall, just in case. Media Centre is only XP with a few pretty bits and extra apps anyway

You had best start backing them up anyway.
You only need your computer to crash or have hard drive
failure & you could lose them anyway.
When they are all backed up you can then think about
installing media centre.
Do it now while everythings working!!! |

Thanks, I'm in the prosess of copying them over to a free Norwegian pic storage center.
It's going to take a while though. After doing a fair bit of weeding I'm left with about 3300 pictures with an average size of 3,2MB.

Yeah, better safe than sorry. Id it an upgrade disk or just a straight install disk?
Obviously, an upgrade shouldn't delete your documents but I wouldn't bet my life on it!

Nah...
I'm draining my lap top completly to do a fresh installation from scratch.
As I move stuff back I'll delete a lot of crap I've collected on it over the years.
