Installing a different system to a reformated drive???

[fferree]

I am considering installing Windows XP Media Player 2005 on a used but reformated Windows XP hard drive? Will I encounter problems? What problems will occur? Or should I play it safe and install it to a new drive?
Any suggestions anyone?

You should be fine as long as you deleted the original partition and then formated the new partition, but even if you didn't delete the old partition and created a new one you can do it on the installation of the new OP/SYS.

as the AP said, it should be fine...

ps, love your sig, too true, i live in australia, a fairly regional part, houses where i live are about 200m apart and the trees generally don't let anyone see in so its ok if you wanna piss too!

Thats cool!

I have a friend that lives in a developement and the houses are only 30' apart, everyone has a 6' wooden privacy fence, but all the houses are 2 story, so privacy for them is really a joke.

Thats almost like living in a prison situation but they're used to it, at least until they visit where we live now, Ahh Paradise!
