Also... I've got a damned trojan in my svchost.exe scanned multiple times with norton... it finds it, just cant do anything about it...

I've gotta get a new HD anyways... Figure, I can just install win2k back on that drive, and skip backuping... by moving the necessary files from the first partition, and then reformating it?

Is that viable?
We use 12 (we get a new one every other week almost) WD 200Gig externals. And I fight with those fuckers every week. I fianlly dumped the OS and went back to Win2Kpro and still had problems.

Turns out it was a firewire/mother board conflict. It's all good now, and these drives are hummin' away.

WD 200 gig external are good, but if you have problems it could be hardware (not software) as I found out the hard way.

Also... do you think you run the risk of draggin that virus with you? Have you tried a different anti-virus software? I heard some viruses are too small to be detected by Norton.


(edit)

Oh, by the way... Sorry Drew. I just killed your thread, I'm on a roll tonight.
