Well then format with kill disk or a like program then try again.

I use a floppy to format and reinstall xp . I find a win98 boot disk works well run FDISK it's pretty exact, never had a problem.

i might try it tommorow, but isnt there A way to check for system files and make sure there are all there and working without formatting all the time?

This is like the old win98 file checker repacles missing system files. Only one problem you should run windows update after using . It sometimes places older files in your system.
