How so? You never commented on that before after asking me for detail.Thanks for telling me why you think my partioning is convoluted.  Interested to kow.

Only if the board is identical...otherwise the drivers will be different.

There are 2 methods i have used successfully...but i must ask first:
What is your level of expertise computer wise ? ?I can say good.
Before the Fact

After the Fact

Good Luck and let us know...

Backups are a must in both CASES....

P.S. You will need an XP CD that matches your installed version and Service Packs.
I.E. Windows XPPro with SP2 needs an XP CD with XP2.
An OEM CD which is what you have will not work.
