Hi, i recently upgraded my win98 system to XP Pro. However, the registry settings for a lot of my programs have been killed by the upgrade so i have decided to jus do a fresh install. However, i need to back up a few files, especially my outlook (express) files. Which directories do i need to backup for my outlook data before formatting my partition?

I also have some other questions regarding the fresh install:

1. I'm thinking of networking my 2 other comps(win98 systems).
Is it better to format my partition as FAT32 or NTFS?

2. I have 2 partitions on a 40 gig drive (20gigs each). I can clear out all contents on my non-boot partition (d: ). Would it work if i jus copy all the contents of c: to d: as temporary backup, format c:, reinstall xp and jus grab wutever data i need from d:, and if everything works reformat d:?

3. Is having a dual boot system any use at all?

Thanks
