and yea it takes 2-3 days for me to format, re-install xp, and get all my programs, games, music back on and installed considering i ended up working my 2nd day off, and had to go see my boss the first day off which took some time, then i ran into a bunch of problems while formatting...
i cant just pop in the xp cd and boot off it, i have some problems i have to go around such as going to the microsoft website, downloading an app that will create 6 floppy disks which i can then boot from to install xp.
originally i downloaded the wrong app, i had downloaded windows xp home edition, when i have windows xp pro so then i downloaded windows xp pro sp 1 and when the setup asks me to insert the xp disc... it doesn't accept it. so im kinda screwed... now i gotta figure out wtf is going on, and if microsoft has another app i could download for windows xp pro, not xp pro sp 1
the good news however is that i managed to extend one HD from 120 gigs to 194
thats because win2k and (i think) xp sp1 doesn't allow bigger partitions then 120gb unless you edit that in registry.
why cant you boot from cd?? :E
How do you kill that wich have no life? :EE
