Barbara;

I am with you 100%. Do a clean install and use the full version of the operating system - no upgrade! As for myself, I would not use a dual boot but would rather save the present harddisk and purchase a new one for the new Operation System. I use removable drawers for my harddisk drives for this purpose so I can switch from DOS, Win 3.11, Win 95, NT4.0, etc. by changing the drive. Makes life easier.
