Upgrading to Vista.?
I am going to Upgrade my PC to Vista, now, the directions say I should copy all my files, music, pics, etc., before I do. This sounds like alot of wasted time, is this absolutely necessary?
Has anybody upgraded and lost files in the process?
Also, If I have an external HD attached (I cant seem to find the install disc) is it absolutely necessary to uninstall and then reinstall this periphal?
Also, has anybody had any problems I should be aware of before I undertake this procedure?
ooops, I mean peripheral
Great, I also have had a Graphics card installed. I'm beginning to think upgrading is a bad idea.

If you're not sure about upgrading, you could always dual boot with XP so that you are sure to not lose anything.

I upgraded to Vista and I wished I did save everything. That was last spring so maybe they've fixed some of the problems, but at the time I didn't have drivers for anything! My printer scanner wouldn't work, my camera didn't work, it didn't recognize my video card, and most of my games didn't play anymore. The problem was that they didn't have drivers for any of it, and Vista is so complex there were no guarantees that they would ever have drivers compatible with Vista.
I ended up formatting the HD and reinstalling xp.
