The reason I'm installing XP is so I can use the burner on the new rig. My Mac mini only reads DVDs, so I can't burn the ISO image of Win7 until I have a burner going (I was able to burn XP because it fits on a CD, which is convenient). I'll burn the win7 DVD and then, as you say, install Windows 7 from scratch.

I figured I'd use my external hard drive to back up my Windows computer. I use Time Machine and so far it's been great for having a contingency in case of a problem.
