 So you want to erase all of your computer's information and install another Windows operating SYSTEM, right?

[glb]Flame[/glb]Hi Flame,thanks for your reply,YES we do want to erase all info and reinstall from new disk.Are there any problems with this?Or can we just install a new xp disk "on top" of original,would this then have a conflict?
Many thanks,RayClick on the following:
How do I install Microsoft Windows XP?Ray Stimpson...several questions . First , what was the problem with the original Win XP pro install ?  ......Is the "New disk " the same one as the original install disk?

I would be inclined to format the hard drive and then do a CLEAN install of Win XP pro as opposed to attempting a repair . ( remember if you go this way to save any important data onto a cd ,before formatting or it will be lost ) .... After the clean install , don't forget to go to M/S update page and get all the SPs and applicable UPDATES.
Another tip.......be sure that after you install Win xp pro..... to install your anti virus software before going on-line to get the Win xp pro updates .....

HOPE this helps
