Well, My problem with the hard drive continues. After
about four times of asking to check the file system I
decided to reformat again, this time, just after it
reached 100% it said "an error occured while formatting"
so I tried one more time and the same error came up.

Luckily I think that the drive is still under warranty
from seagate, so that will hopefully take care of the
problem...

Also, I thought that programs and services loaded AFTER
the welcome screen came up, or at least suring that
Windows XP loading screen, not during a black screen. I
ussually associate a blank screen with hang ups and
delays.
