>Good news and bad news. The support you need is on the
Microsoft.com\supportXP\knowledgebase.com The problems
you are having almost mirror those I was having and I
blamed XP. It turned out to be a brand new maxtor 80-gig
harddrive that was failing. Failure to boot,corrupted
files, etc. Start over with a reformat and a clean
installation of XP(new). I know it's time consuming but?
