generally always been very good.

Have you ran the Maxtor diagnostics on the drive?

Yea I just did earlier, everything came back just fine.

Most likely I am just going to have to reinstall XP which now presents me
with a new interesting problem.

XP CD won't boot! Tried more than one...I have enough of those things to
stack them like AOL disks.

The drive though is fine as I use it daily to watch DVDs, plus the maxtor
diagnostic CD booted fine, plus my ubuntu live CDs also boot fine.

XP However, no matter what, the install CD will not boot. It asks me if I
want to boot from CD, then followed by a short bit of CD activity, and
then nothing. Since multiple XP CDs do this...not a CD problem such as a
scratch either.
