Hi guys, I have a computer at present running Windows Me but I want to install XP.I was wondering if I can install XP over Win me or do I have to format my hard drive first and start from scratch. If so will all my hardware, Scanner, printer, CD burner and camera etc run in XP okay. I actually put the XP CD in my CD ROM drive and it prompted me to install XP but I wasnt sure if I could just install it directly over Me. I have the full version of XP so it would be no problem to start from scratch other than having to reinstall all the other stuff on my puter at the moment.
