My first clean install of windows Xp

[chrisj]

You know, back in the old DOS days of low-level formatting hard drives just to get to the point where you could actually partition and format it, it was a blessing when a time saver like Windows 95 came out. Of course I used Win 98 right up until XP in 2001. I didn't even give up 98 right away! I still have an old laptop with 98 on it. I just think Vista and 7 have so much fluff and things I don't need, and both of those OS's seem like they are tailor-made for home users who want push-button convenience. As a tech I am just biased I guess. :)

I think we got a little off the topic here, where the guy wanted info about his install issues... LOL! Sorry about that. I get on my soapbox sometimes. I need to work on that.
