[QUOTE="danno20441, post: 919321, member: 124310"] Thank you Louishen...great insights. It is IMPERATIVE then that I do a fresh install of Windows - so here again, this is where I have these questions....I currently run a two year old system (as Mac SK reiterates) and it is running an [B][U]OEM version [/U][/B]of Windows XP Pro. Going further backwards, this OEM version is on a machine I am running because the first Dell Dimension 8200 which was running the [B]original[/B] version of Windows XP Pro had the motherboard fizzle out. I was fortunate enough to find some local PC repair techs who salvaged the OLD hard drive and installed it into this current machine as a "slave" drive...along with the other hard drive running along side it. So, in essence....to put all of this onto a VPC Mac, can I use the original disk of Windows XP Pro without an affect on the files, folders, invoices and information on the current hard drive and also the slave drives running in this current clunker? Your insights have been invaluable. [/QUOTE]
