    geez, that sounds like a lot of work...b/c im lazy, but thanks for the all the help!

    BTW, do u think booting from the XP installations disk is worth trying? I was thinking i could boot, copy it to my HDD, then afterwards, format. Or is that too risky?

    Why don't you try repairing Windows before reformating to see if that will help?

    That's the 1st thing i tried...it's incorrigible. I shoouldnt have waited this long to not format it, but i was waiting to buy a new HDD so that i wouldnt lose all my data. But i cant even start windows, so i just want to salvage what i can, then format.

    Then buy the new HD, install windows on it, then plug in your old hd as a secondary drive and copy the stuff over to the new drive, format the old drive and continue to use it as extra storage space.

    Unless you are talking about a laptop...
