 JH> usb 2 and 200mb?  that's not shit.
 JH> it wouldnt take that long.

My typo.  200GB

 JH> is that a bad thing? would that even be hard?

Some programs are fine tuned for XP and may not exist anymore.   
I rely on many different programs at any one time that have  
been amassed over 10-12yrs.


 JH> also this is a perfect time to just install win7 on it.

That's the hope, but only AFTER the XP system is imaged to its  
new home on the SDD.
