[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 887929, member: 187442"] Have you got the disk partitioned? Where are you up to now, Channel Hopper, I seem to have lost track. Have you copied all the data, you wanted, off the old drives? Are you now trying to run Windows XP? You could try booting using the Windows CD and try the repair commands chkdsk /r and/or fixmbr I ahve run across a similar problem, to this, when Windows XP failed to load, the first time, and when loading it again it left two Operating Systems, one that worked and one partial one, so you got two boot up options, at the beginning, all I had to do was boot into the working one, go to Start, Run, and use the msconfig system to delete the faulty option in the Boot tab. This could also be a hardware problem, showing the hard drive is failing, have you run software to check for bad sectors? [/QUOTE]
