Hi,
I am running Win 98 with the following config:
P3, 500 MHz, 320 MB RAM
HD C: 6 GB - Win 98
HD D: 127GB - this is where I store all my photos, movies, mp3 and is almost full

I am planning to install Win 2000 on my C drive. I was going to reboot in DOS mode, do an "fdisk, format c:/s" to remove existing partition and create a new active primary partition. I have copied the Win 2000 CD in to my D:/win2k. Install win2k from my D drive.

I have these questions
- Win 2000 uses NTFS. If I wipe off C and install win2k with NTFS, would I still be able to read my D Drive?
- Does Win 2000 support the Win98 file system as well as NTFS?
- Would it be better to back up my D drive and make both my C and D to be NTFS?
- What is the best way to migrate to Win 2000 and what are the things that I have to watch for.

Would appreciate any help in this regard. I am fed up with Win 98.
Thanks,
-S
