Hi Robert, I think the BIOS upgrade is a good idea also. You reminded me of another XP install where the OS gave all kinds of data corruption problems. I finally figured that the hard drive was being addressed incorrectly. Hard drives may be detected several ways by the BIOS (LBA, normal, large on some BIOSs) The wrong method causes hard drive recognition but data corruption later. I upgraded the BIOS, made sure the hard drive parameters were correct, and then XP loaded. Checking with the Events Monitor showed errors until I loaded and upgraded all the motherboard drivers, including chipset, video, lan etc. Best of luck and please keep us posted.
