I've mostly been happy with XP, but when something in your hardware takes a dump and you've got to replace it, XP doesn't want to play anymore. I was to the point of making my backup into a data drive and installing clean on my new 200GB HDD.
Instead I got my guru to help me out, slipstream in SP2, and fool XP into rebuilding itself on the 160GB drive.
Still haven't sysprepped my 200GB backup; no idea WTH I'll do if my 160 goes tits up. Probably better do a little reading in advance, ya think? LOL!
Gotta turn in. Back around 1300Zulu.
Yep...
It's about time. Probably be up and running by 1700Z.
