ok here's my current situation:
Got one 80gb SATA hdd with all my data but its registry is messed up so I cant access it unless through the os of another hard drive.
And I have one 160GB SATA for storage.
Now in order for me to transfer my music/videos from the 80 gb to the 160, I will need to have a middle man harddrive right? So I'm thinking of installing xp temporarily on a 2gb PATA hdd and using the OS on that drive to transfer the music/movies from the 80gb to the 160, then formating the 80gb and putting a fresh install of XP on it. Of course, before I use my new 160gb I need to format it right? The Windows XP Pro format is good enough right? You just exit the installation after XP has formated the drive correct?
Or should I format the 160gb through XP on the 2gb drive?
