The easiest option is still to obtain a bootable copy of XP Pro Corp via eMule (the ed2k links posted upon this board are best, IMO). Using that disk alone will allow you to completely wipe your current C:\ partition and then create a new partition in which XP will be installed upon. You will not need anything else. No boot disks- nothing.
It will however, completely erase all your files. Yet the installation will be 100% clean of error. The only drawback is that it would be wise to visit the manufacturer's sites of the system to obtain the specific drivers it utilizes. But not a difficult feat by any means. Even if you did not, XP would install generic versions of those drivers anyway. But the manufacturer's versions are recommended.
Though in obtaining a bootable copy of XP, I would hope you are utilizing a broadband connection. So far as working with a P2P client such as eMule or Bitorrent for the first time, I myself, would be happy to help you out there. As I am certain many others from these forums would also be.
In what you are describing the problems to be and what you are seeking Skizo, there really is no "quick" or "easy" fix if you wish to do it right. A little learning, time and patience invested is going to be necessary. :)
I was wanting to get another PC by summer's end anyway, maybe this will help to put a push onit.
Right now though it's off to eMule in search of Windows Corp. I'm just going to take a collective review of everything that's been said here, do some searching, and get started next week when I have some time.
THANKS EVERYONE! :thumbsup:
no prob, after a few times it'll be a breeze. its just a pain reinstalling all the programs.
