I'm gonna reinstall.

Yes that one! It didn't work quite well.
It couldn't find the .COM files

I think "van halen" is a name. And a store.
:)
But there are funny "vernederlandst-engelse" (dutchified-english)
translations. For instance your vacuum cleaner is for us
(dutchified-english) dustpiston="stofzuiger".
We also have a site/page in the Netherlands called "make that the catwise".
For Dutch people very funny!

New partition, install Boot manager and install again.

I could do that. But I find it much more time consuming then burn it on a
CD and throw it into the drive.  :D

See above :).

Fijne middag! Ik ga slapen want bij mij is het avond.

("Good afternoon!  I'm gonna sleep because it's evening in the Netherlands.
")

Funny to do. Talk English and Dutch in the same email :).
