Aww....you're no fun Saint.

Actually Saint is more fun than a barrel of monkeys, but lawyers ruin lives so he does what he must.
I forgot anyway, what did the deleted links lead to? Was I posting naughty links?
:hissy: Have I become a criminal? :dizzy:

I'm having a bit of a problem after trying out your tutorial. Once I boot the CD and the first screen (list of partitions) comes up my keyboard no longer responds, I managed to install my vanilla XP disc fine and for some wierd reason I also managed to install a MAME-XP version on this computer a while back but now it doesn't want to work.
It's a USB Keyboard if that matters, thanks for the help.

Do you have a PS2 port on the computer? If so, try a regular PS2 keyboard and see if that helps any.
Also, check the power supply (PSU) with an "antec" PSU tester. They are cheap and really essential when dealing with older 'puters. I test every PSU that comes through here before I even power the computers up. A bad PSU can make a computer act "haunted".
I've also seen Dell USB ports go bad, Dell uses the cheapest ... well let's not have that conversation :)
Keep us posted,
Craig

Ok a PS/2 keyboard worked, now getting an 'insert Windows XP disc, asms file is need' after the first reboot or something to that effect.
Not to worried about the PSU, I through the one out that came with that computer as a new one came with the case I'm using.
