Re: FLUXLIST: aaarrrghh! help!!! teknicall assistance required....

Not that the below option will not work but if you really are worried about loosing the info.. If i were you i would purchase a new hd and do a fresh install on the new hd and then get a external enclosure for the old hd  or put the old drive in the case as well so you will have a backup disk that will prevent this from happening in the future.. I like the external enclosures better because you can easily transport a lot of info ie. pictures,movies, music, and other crap to almost any computer. ...
if you need any further help let me know

and this is ok for the list right no big deal
we are here to help each other

I like helping people

Alan,

You can repair your XP install and thus retain all files and settings whilst
putting a fresh copy of XP on your machine.

Just boot from your XP install CD and select the repair option rather than a
normal install, this will retain all your files and settings.
XP is drivel but this feature actually works pretty well. I've used it on
several occasions, especially when I hacked my login screen in a somewhat
carefree manner with bizarre conseqeunces!

cheers,

Sol.
