Hello everyone....i want to change my computer operating system. I currently have "Microsoft 2003 Student Edition" installed on my computer. I want to buy and install "Microsoft XP Professional" on my computer. I need to know two things: 1) When I install XP Professional, will it write over my current operating system (I would like it if it did so that I wouldn't have any trouble un-installing it)? 2) Will all the data that is currently saved on my computer be safe?
i would greatly appreciate anyone's help and any additional advise concerning this too...

XP Black is a Pirated version that isn't replace remarkable. in case you want to be up on the present purchase Vista, or if you're like me and in simple terms favor some thing that truly works, bypass with XP professional x64 it is going to likely be supported even after XP 32bit is lifeless and lengthy gone. the in elementary words pirated issues that replace remarkable are volume licenses, and those are risky as well, there is not any telling what virus has been slip streamed into the disc. purchase a replica of what ever OS you pick on line, you could regularly get XP x64 for $one hundred shipped in case you go searching.
