If I partion one of my hard disks and installed windows XP on it with a veiw to then installing photoshop CS how would I go about making XP work on the partion? I currently use windows 98 SE and think its fine for my needs, how ever following my latest trip to my local camera club I am going to dabble with RAW and TiFF images and my current version of photoshop 7 dosent support these images. What would be the best way forward?

Photoshop 7, supports TIFF files has done since the dawn of time, so don't understand why your's wouldn't? As for the RAW format, up until CS, you only required a plug-in for importing them, which is usually supplied with your camera software.

Raw. Raw files are pretty much what the name implies. They're simple files that contain no extra data. This format doesn't allow any compression. On top of that, to use this format correctly you have to know the dimensions and options of the image before opening it. This format is useful only when you need to open documents from an unknown origin. It's more of a desperate-times-call-for-desperate-measures format.
TIFF. One of the most common formats for Photoshop users is the TIFF format. A TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is the most widely used printing format on both Macintosh and PC platforms. Not only that but there are few compatibility issues, because most graphic programs will identify a TIFF and interpret the file correctly. So, if you want to print an image, the TIFF format is the best choice.
Thanks for that yep yer right about the TIFF being supported, have you used CS ? and is it much better than PS7. I have instaled Nikon Capture that came with the camera as it supports RAW files I have never dabble with RAW but at the camera club it actually made a lot of sense to take at least some shots in RAW format so am going to give it a try.

Currently using CS until my CS2 upgrade arrives. Not much in difference to any other version of PS, just a funky GUI and some better production tools.

RAW is an outdates format these days. Was mainly used for opening images with an unknown file format. Good point, the qulaity is awesome, bad point, the file sizes are astronomical.

Good point also that in RAW you can take the image right back to the time it was taken, and alter the white ballance etc, every aspect of the image except the focus can be altered when taken in RAW, where as JPEG is like taking a slide shot, once its taken thats pretty much it, these were the words used at our local camera club, so if its wrong dont blame me he he
