You are correct. We do not have Win2k3 on any desktops, nor are we running Vista. We have stuck with XP. Since I work for the government, we have enough old equipment and software that upgrading would not only be too costly monetarily but also in time and aggravation. Besides, we just got done upgrading all the Win98 machines to XP last year. I'll give Roger's idea a whirl (see other post) and see if it's more reliable than diskpart.
