in a recent post i said that my xp pc crashed. well i installed 98se. nothing worked, audio, ect.... so i called dell . my dimension has a boot partion. but it was defective. dell sent me a free xp pro cd. at first i thought it was a boot , or recovery. well it turns the NTFS disk which your XP is running on <XP Users> was bumped up against my FAT32 and 16. it doesnt make a difference anyway because the cd was an xp install cd. but i got xp back up. so for my friends who havent seen me in a while ... im back . BTW if any of you guys are having a problem with an xp dell. you can awlays get the cd for free or 18 dollars. Thanks , Titanic . [PS. Happy Fourth of July - 2 Days]
