Raum Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 I'm thinking I'll go ahead and format. I've been meaning to re-organize all my files so I figured I'd do that then format my OS partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leedogg Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 you can pretty much go straight from xp install to sp2 right? Or does sp1 and the horde of other hotfixes need to be installed as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuxi Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 you can pretty much go straight from xp install to sp2 right? Or does sp1 and the horde of other hotfixes need to be installed as well? I think you can install it directly. It will just take longer to download and install. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raum Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 On second thought I think I might wait a week or so and read some changelogs, reviews etc...maybe test it out on a virtual PC too, just to see what all it adds. Might decide not to update until it's absolutely neccassary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetRyder Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I'll wait for a day to make sure the coast is clear (i.e. it doesn't end up breaking anything) based on everyone's feedback. Not going to rebuild from scratch this time though. My system is already running smoothly as ever. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotRoot Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I've been using the SP2 Tech Preview and everything has been working great. No bugs or anything for me so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted August 1, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 1, 2004 The day or two after it comes out will be cleared on the calendar so I have time to format and reinstall everything :shifty: I've needed a rebuild for quite a while now :pinch: Last install was about a year and a half ago. It still runs fine, but there's too many annoying glitches :hmmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
