mmm, thats all for windows 2000 though. will it all be the same command promts? i put an XP cd in, got to set up screen and tried to do a new install, i can partition the memory and have two windows installed or format drive, but im pretty sure that will wipe my hardrive of everything. dont want to do that and its saying format as ntfs, not giving me system 32 as an option. im lost. i exited out of that without doing anything, computer said rebooting in 15secs and then proceeded to load windows. im typing this from my computer and im too scared to turn it off. spoken to some friends and when you install windows you put in a name and admin password that wont be shown anywhere. ill have to ring CCL and hopefully they use the same one everytime so i can use window repair setup. unless someone knows how to find admin password?
