Oh yeah, right after I sent that I remembered it's a bit different than 95/98/ME. Maybe he 'missed a prompt'. Yes, probably best he didn't have to reformat and the re-install worked. That saved some time & hassle.
John in many cases you may have to re-install some of your drivers, and windows updates since sometimes the CD will overwrite some existing NEW files with old files. -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner Want to exchange links with us? http://OrpheusComputing.com � ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Moore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Actually, Clint, on WinXP when you the install from the cd, if there is an existing OS, you have an option of deleting a current partition and reformatting when it asks you where you want the install to go. I don't know what happened to John's but if it's working I don't see any reason for him to do anything else.
