Thank you very much for your response. I was not unhappy with win2k at all. Here
is the story. I posted a request for help a few days ago (no response) stating
my chess programs running analysis would after a spell end as if I closed the
program .
I also received from time to time (never concurrent) Win2k popup error,
reporting Windows was going to shut down and needed restarting. Both of these
errors occured random in time frame.

I re-installed win2k over the existing operating win2k which I guess perhaps was
improper, but I dont know how to init my harddrive. With this background I
decided to install Win XP. In this way I would eliminate the windows problem and
hopefull the chess problem would go away as well.
That is the reason for getting XP.

If I could get instructional help on initing my hard drive and how to make a
proper installation of my Win2K CD that would be great !

Thanks in advance if someone is willing to offer help. It should be handled by
e-mail I guess.
My e-mail is yagi90250@yahoo.com
