Hi sherlokpwnz.
Good idea, but we're passed that stage now, we just need to get the install sorted

Let me know on your thoughts on this and if it helps you.

Hi there, thanks for your concern and help,, I went to that site just out of curiosity since I don't know what IO am,doing here,, lol but I could not find that "bootnuke" thing. I musta missed something as I went in to the XP tab and then to the download software and still can't find it.

I am waiting on DCiAdmin and Jay2 to get back to me on this problem as I don't want to screw things up since DCiAdmin has found the culpert. I was doing this for my curiosity mind,, yea I know that killed the cat too, but oh well ,, lol

Well Thats a sign of relief. Just for future reference here is the link to Darik's Boot and Nuke program.

SourceForge.net: Darik's Boot and Nuke

you just Iso it to a cd and it is a boot up type like a windows installer and it returns the hard drive 1's and 0's to factory settings if that makes sense. This is free software so no need for buying pro or spending money on it. Good luck and congrats on the shed of light.
