You can't be loading XP on drive C: if you have Vista on C:, Vista overwrote the Windows XP folder when did a clean install. Thats why you have that folder called windows.old. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "JuanPabloGallardo" wrote in message
