If any program written for Win9x/ME has trouble in XP, it can be run in "Compatability Mode," which is MS slang for the fact that there is a Win9x/ME and a WinNT emulator. I have never had any problems with Compatibility Mode myself and have noticed only performance bonuses to using WinXP over Win98SE.As Welverin said, most of the reason you're getting 27Gig for the advertised 30 is that there are 1024MB per GB, but it is usually rounded to 1000 in advertising. Also, some (very small) hard drive space is allocated to maintaining the file system--the database that dictates how information is organized on the drive.</blockquote>
