Xcopy okay??

Dunno, tried a few various things, here is what I did and the results:

1) Booted without boot disk, only HD#3 installed
result: Warning screen saying Computer disk hardware problem. Could not read from the boot disk, etc etc.

2)Booted WITH boot disk
Result: same as post above, got splash screen WinXP Home little loading bar moving, gets all loaded, goes black.

3) Booted with boot disk in safe mode
Result: black screen loading all molti(0)disk(0)Partition(1)blah blah things.. goes and gets stalled on \DRIVERS\agp440.sys nothing happens after that.

4, 5, and 6 tried all of the above with another drive ALSO installed, same results each time.

I will put the drives back in the machine they came from tonight and see what happens and go from there.

Any other ideas welcomed though

This in conjunction with the black screen is not a good sign. Either a) the graphics drivers are corrupted, or b) the graphics card (or the motherboard) is damaged. Try overwriting the graphics drivers (and agp440.sys) with files from another installation (or extract them directly from the CABs on the install CD). Then, try the graphics card in another machine (and try a different graphics card in that one).

Not graphics, the testing computer is my own, very powerful, pretty new and highly updated, when I reinstall my Fedora and WinXP drives everything works fine.

I think it was that overlay

Not to matter I have fixed the problem, I just started ALL over again and it worked this time, must have had a problem copying a file or 2 the first time.

Now I sit and wonder what is coming next
