    [​IMG] Today at 9am CST (in 2 hours!!!) my Toshiba Tecra 8100 is being upgraded from Windows NT to Windows 2000.

    What do I need to back-up? What am I going to loose?

    I'm pretty sure they'll delete my IWD2 game ... so that's saved.

    Anything else?

    Backup everything you wish to keep, just in case. After the installation, remember to make a visit to these sites...

    Firewall

    Skins ;)

    ...and, of course, windows update.

    Well, when you install windows 2k over any other OS you're going to have to reformat the drive no matter what, so you're going to want to back up everything critical for sure.

    Sorry if I'm too late with this post, but I just registered, still felt I'd throw in my 2 cents. ;)
