I wouldn't necessarily wipe the whole HD, just the windows partition.

Ross: That would be a little faster. It would take me about 2-3 additional hours, to reinstall CentOS5 and restore everything. Installing Windows and it's applications it *VERY* time consuming. But, if I dont redo my CentOS installation, I won't have room for VMware Server. I won't have time to do this for 2 or 3 days, so I still have time to decide on the path to take. :-) Minimum, I will wipe MS Windows and install it with the new English language CD I got from Dell last week.

You could also use Xen in CentOS 5 for your Windows virtualization.

I'd wait for 5.1 though which will be more refined then version 5.

Does Xen require a special CPU or motherboard? Thanks much, for all of your ideas! Lanny
