    I'm not allowed to discuss my software licensing in here any more due to the CharMeckFed guy in the past.

    You're the one that asked for help, and now you want to qualify it? Fuck off.

    I am going to start over from scratch. The problem is that I think that the primary boot drive is the one going bad, so I am going to need to boot from a floppy and set up the drive I want to be the new primary. I'm going to take the 2 I don't want back to compusa and exchange them for a new cpu, memory, & motherboard this weekend. I should be all set after that.

    The good thing is that I got all my files off of the old drives.

    That'll work. Um, you can setup XP from a CD, you know. No floppies necessary.

    When you boot to window xp setup from the cd you can format the drive you have and then have windows xp install on it.

    You when you set it up I'd delete the entire partition and reformat it. Unless you just want to I wouldn't bother with resizing it though.
