dpreeves,

glad you fixed your problem. Thru, the simples answer always work and I had in mind to only recommend to disable your antivirus but I couldn't resist giving my opinion on the NT platform.

I will try to clarify my opinion;
When you upgrade to XP you are givin the option to choose FAT32 or NTFS, in general people choose FAT32, easier and you loose less data but in MY opinion it doesn't justify the reason to upgrade to XP! The previous version were running with the FAT32 so why upgrade? Windows 98 is not bad.
Windows XP comes from a combination of Windows 2000 which uses NT but not multimedia friendly and ME which is multimedia friendly but uses the FAT32.

When you choose to upgrade to XP with FAT32 your keeping some files, driver... that was running with the previous version, this could cause some problems.

When you format the drive before the installation you can still choose FAT32 or NTFS but at least it's a CLEAN installation and you will notice a difference in speed, your computer will run MUCH faster.

Just one last thing, not recommended to install windows NT on the same partition of your audio files in fact audio will play better on FAT32.
In best world you install Windows NT and create the other partition on FAT32 or you use 2 drives.

The beauty of XP is it's NT platform and this is not my opinion it's a fact!
