Set your machine BIOS so that the CD is the first boot device, insert the XP
CD and boot from that, delete all partitions and let XP remake and format
the partition. Allow XP to go through all its steps WITH the cd still in the
drive.

I kinda thought the same thing but if you read between the lines, his
health is not great, and its just quite possible this is a great
accomplishment for him to sit at a computer and type.

If I have only learned one thing monitoring these ng's for the past 2
months, it's that we are all not healthy, educated, wealthy, have a good
grasp of the English language, and are pc literate users.

Oh there was a joke the other day that I think was great, the 'yell like
the third monkey on Noah's gangplank' joke!
