I'll give that a try when I get back to my machine tonight - thanks. I have two hard drives and a CD/RW feeding off my IDE cables but cant remember what config.

As an afterthought my main hard drive is partitioned into two (C: and D: )and I reformatted C: with NTFS format when loading XP while D: is still FAT32 (I havent enough space to move the data off D: while I reformat it yet). Could this multiple format on one drive be causing the errors. Its just that the first error message does refer to ...Harddisk0\D ?

Final thought (promise!) - My main hard drive is ATA while my old one is EIDE. They are both on the same IDE cable and Im using the old cable rather than the new ATA one. Will this have confused the XP installation?
