[QUOTE="sirius, post: 285742, member: 258"] Thanks guys :) Im having a bit of bother though.......Ive shifted anything important off the C drive, dug out the XP CD and a few security patches thats on it, all my driver discs for the components etc etc.......however, I cannot get the CD to boot up from the start up proceedure. It must not be a 'bootable' installation disc. What do I need to do to get it running? Ive made sure the boot sequence is right, it spins the disc says its reading it, but carries on without the prompt to boot from CD and just loads windows again as usual. I have my dads XP home CD too, will I have to put that on, then upgrade it somewhow? I need to format the C Partition (and pray all my other partitions stay intact as the DVDr isnt liking it at the minute ("laser power error" etc) so I cant back up) and get stuff going again and then make sure the soundcard is not damaged. I dunno what I can do do get the CD going without trying to upgrade my dads Home Edition......any ideas chaps. My brother says to format a partition fat32 and copy the CD to it then boot to dos and install from there or something but its going to be too cmplicated for me and besides I havent any spare partitions.
