$90 for 20GB expensive

OUCH!!!!

We just got 4 - 80g WDs for 40 a pop after a 10 buck rebate each from WD and 20. each at the register (Compusa) a few weeks back. :D

Reinstall windows over itself (everything stays put) then go to the upgrade MS page and upgrade and do all the patches over again. If you didn't do those then you are boffo. (Blue Thunder Lives) Remember to restart after EACH upgrade or patch. Defragging doesn't hurt every few upgrades too.

Might be that rinky compaq doesn't like that large of HD too. So you may need to break it down to 2 - 10g or 4-5g drives with fdisk. NEVER NEVER use the BS utilities that some drives come with!!!!

Take the time to do it right the first time or deal with the h*ll you make for yourself by being skippy

Open the EN from the taskbar and see what it is. I remember seeing that before on a clients system but don't remember what it is. Easy enough to remove that EN from the startup if its not needed.
