I have been trying for the past week to get the XP Pro
with SP1 to load properly in my computer. So far I have
loaded it three times and in that three times I have lost
the use of my dvd drive, all the data on my 250 gb scsi
drive and my patients with this. I am installing from a
new disk and it is really irritating to have to go
through all of these troubles and more to get this OS to
load. I am about to attempt my fourth load because the
installation wizard is not working properly, the drivers
for my two other cd drives has been corrupted somehow,
and when I put in the OS disk, it doesn't offer to repair
itself. Is there any relief for this?
