when i get it reinstalled, (no the repair feature didn't work) i'll let you know how smart i was to have a separate hard drive just for data -too bad MS isn't smart enough to keep all my settings, email, downloads, updates (that reminds me - i think i have to download service pack again (i'm on dialup)) high scores and program files on a separate drive -- because i DON'T WANT TO DO THIS EVERY 9 MONTHS |

That's why all of us need to have our data on separate drives (I have a 500GB Firewire setup) - and a set of backup discs, just in case it wasn't a HD failure that caused the problem. Oh, and all our downloads saved to DVDs etc., too. Good luck with your restoration. |

One word, WinRot. Look it up on Google. Any MS-Windows product needs at least one enema in it's life cycle. |

true, a pattern has not been established, i just deduced reasonalby that vista will eat shi' at a rate of once for every 9 months ---- i'm still having trouble setting it up the way i had it before i had to einstall ----- i wonder why i spent 30$ at geek squad for a repair disk that didn't work at all, i should just format my hard drive once a month for a clean install........................................
