After months of fighting XP and nearly going out to buy a new PC, I think I
have prevailed. It took a total format and full reinstall backing up all my
important data to my second HD. Any suggestions to keep it healthy??
 
It had shit loads of problems from the get-go. More after surfing the web,
but I think they were mostly linked to XP somehow. MS XP repair never really
did the trick. It would not shut down, it would not boot up, it would get
"sys32\config\sys32" corrupt or missing, it would boot with no icons on
desktop, on and on and on....This is the first machine with XP that I have
used. It orginally had a HD crash and I didn't have the 98 disk so I bought
a new 80g HD and a XP home. It ran like a POS from the begining. Now after
the c:\format and full install and more ram, it seems to be running. All my
data is on a second 120g, and the OS is running on a 80G, seenms like a big
waste. I don't trust XP enough to load up the 80g with info incase it shits
the bed again. I am just glad it is running and don't have to purchase a new
PC.
