Once again Mobo, thanx for replying to my post.
Being obsessive as I am, I have read your instructions completely and carefully and am ALMOST ready to take the plunge and actually TRY it lol.
I have only ONE more question Mobo .... sorry .... I'm wondering if during this process there is also a way to wipe and reformat my drive D? I have only one HD but it's divided into 2 partitions .... a quite small C drive which houses my Windows and some other stuff and the D drive which has most of my programs. I guess I'm hoping to get rid of as much crud as possible during this process and I have no problem reinstalling my programs.
If there is no easy way to do the D drive, it's OK .... I'll just go ahead with doing C and see if my system is more stable after that.
Thank you once again for your help Mobo. I do appreciate it. Raen
