I know that I need to re-install XP-pro as I have a weird problem.
Is there a way to install clean WITHOUT re-formatting?
I have over 100Meg of active data I really don't want to migrate off and
then back on...
Yes it is backed up, did that as soon as the flakiness started.....
The Majority of my programs standalone, and re-installing all of the OTHER
programs with my data still in-place is not a problem...(outlook, frontpage,
Office, etc...)
Its just the wiping the drive(s) (Mirrored 200Gig) will take most of a day
to wipe, re-partition, reformat, and then start the install. (and since I
have an upgrade disk it will want my win2k disk as well)....
There HAS to be a better way....
