I have gotten my U105 to boot XP without using the recovery DVD! Yay!. See my previous message on Express Media Player Software. I rebooted from the Win98 USB Flash drive and started Partition Magic 8.0 again. I deleted the 700mb DOS partition at the beginning of the hard disk. I left it as unused space. Rebooted from the hard drive and like magic WinXP booted just fine! First thing I did was make a back up of Express Media Player Software. Next stop was Disk Management. Sure enough, Disk Manager showed 700mb unused space at the beginning of the hard drive. I then created a partition in it and formatted it as FAT. Everything is fine now. Next week I'll try to figure out how to install DOS 7 onto the first partition and get a boot manager installed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tony Oresteen W1AJO Montverde, FL
