Hmmmm--just thinking you could have used the XPSetup w/SP3 slipstreamed in 
that G helped me create in September.  It was an interesting procedure and 
fun to do but I could never do it again without G guiding me every step of 
the way.  I needed it at the time to run ScanDisk but I don't remember what 
problem we were trying to solve at the time.
