kool.

May I suggest after you have done that, get an external drive, download one of the backup imaging software packages discussed on this board, and take an image of your recovered hard drive and also burn a recovery cd or dvd. The recovery CD will boot your system even if the HD is kaput.

I know its an old machine, but practice on those before you consider looking after your real data on your new expensive machine.

just a suggestion. ;-)

Its worth it. I just found (while you were fixing ur machine)I couldnt remove some software off my XP installation. I looked up an XP image before it was installed and boom, problem solved. I keep all my working data on a different partition of course.
