Computer Update Update

New CPU and mobo seem to work. Unfortunately, the slipstream XP SP2 disk I made a few years ago doesn't give me the option to repair an existing installation. It's installing WinXP clean right now. (No, I didn't tell it to format or change the file structure or anything.)

More later.

I hope it works out well.

What brand parts did you go with?

Just came back from looking at my sisters computer (yes, I'm tech support for the whole family). Nasty trojan/virus combo on her system, so I'll be doing a backup/nuke/reload routine to make sure it is gone this Sunday. Wish her "can't get on the internet' issue had been a simple bad setting, but no dice...

Guess you'll have to make sure it installs all three service packs, too.
