You should always do a clean install, unless your trying to save data, in which case you should back up data to disk and then do a clean install. Try booting from the xp cd and install from there. You will have the option of formatting your drive, choose (Quick)NTFS, and create the partitions you need for the install. I preffer to create a 3GB partition just for windows and intsall all progs into a second partition. Just a suggestion and I hope this helps.

I would suggest doing a "Level 3" Virus scan before installing anything d/l from Kazza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luckily i downloaded Norton Systemworks 2003 just a couple days ago ON KAZAA w/ no virus i also make sure the file size makes sense (i mean who's ever heard of a 400 megabyte virus)
