Holy Smokes!  "not hard at all" you said. My first scan of the tutorial 
looked like I could do it but as I studied it in depth I kept thinking "This 
is just too difficult".  I am not sure whether or not I can be disabused of 
that conclusion.
First question I had was, "what about SP2?" but when I looked closer at my 
gold XP Pro disk it said includes Service Pack 2.
When I got to "Download and Save XP Service Pack3" I wondered if I already 
have it on my system, do I need to do that?  Then it says save it at the top 
level of Drive C.  Do I save it to C Drive and then drag it to the top?
I am totally lost at the step 2. Extract or Download the Boot Sector of the 
XP  Setup Disk.  I don't understand either paragraph in step 2.
I have to tell you G, your tutorials are so much easier to follow.
I will read it through again just because you told me to but I don't 
anticipate getting any smarter!
Sandi
