Thank you so much.
A backup is implied, of course.

Make sure you read the Backup section of the release notes - very important
as I think if you upgrade from XP, it loses a lot of stuff - can't remember
exactly, but the link to the DOC is on www.msblog.org... near the top P

Thank you. Very useful.
I'll not use External Hard Disks for backup...

Well, if you are backing up from XP, it shouldn't be a problem, just don't
do the restoration in Vista.
