Hey all. Thanks for the wholehearted welcome. Lord knows I don't deserve it :P So yeah. Lots has changed since I was last around.

I tried installing from the web in VMWare and it didn't pick up the nic card. Oh well I'll get these CDs burnt out and try ...

Doc, I believe his question was also "will that screw anything up", and not just "how do I"... Basterb, that should be fine. Partition magic does the same thing as the built in ntfs conversion tool. Just remember that you will no longer be able to access your winXP partition when...

Um cool. Why are they out of key?
