your log is fine. So is have I: your preference besides having the c: drive instead?

 

[mrgrim333]

No not really, thats just what happened with all this formatting crap.

 

[Osiris]

why dont you install norton and see what happens?

 

[mrgrim333]

Ok I'll try... Its not going to find jack, then im about an hour "No association with this file, please make one in control pannel" ...Right in my face forcing me to have to take and hour to reformat for 2 hours use.

 

[mrgrim333]

Also after feformating via bootdisk... I only have 125gb on my drive... OEM its 224gm, any Idea why?

 

[Osiris]

you have other issues........do a repair



XP Repair install

Boot the computer using the XP CD. You may need to change the boot order in the system BIOS so the CD boots before the hard drive. Check your system documentation for steps to access the BIOS and change the boot order.
When you see the "Welcome To Setup" screen, you will see the options below
This portion of the Setup program prepares Microsoft
Windows XP to run on your computer:

To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER.

To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R.

To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.

Press Enter to start the Windows Setup. do not choose "To repair a Windows XP installation using the Recovery Console, press R", (you Do Not want to load Recovery Console). I repeat, do not choose "To repair a Windows XP installation using the Recovery Console, press R".
Accept the License Agreement and Windows will search for existing Windows installations.
Select the XP installation you want to repair from the list and press R to start the repair. If Repair is not one of the options, read this Warning#2!
Setup will copy the necessary files to the hard drive and reboot. Do not press any key to boot from CD when the message appears. Setup will continue as if it were doing a clean install, but your applications and settings will remain intact.

Ok , also how would I go about changing my C:\ back to C, because norton is being picky.. Saying it will NOT finish install due to invalid drive "C:\".

 

[mrgrim333]

Ok I did the repair stuff and yet, still a small drive... Aww **** it. Maybe I formatted in like some sort of smaller NTFS.
