: BTW XP Rocks! Jump into the 21st century and leave your out-dated os's with it... I've been running it and I LOVE it. It's like 2000 but without the confusing 14 click menu hierarchy system that everybody hates. Oh and btw you can actually play games and use hardware in Xp unlike 2000.
I play the majority of my games in Windows 2000 - MAME32, ZSNESw, MagicEngine, ePSXe... (Gran Turismo 2 on my PC ROOOOCKS!!!). I put my Half-Life/Counterstrike under Win98 but I hear it will work under Win2K also...

: : Well first of all, why in the freaking hell do you have XP? You NEVER buy an OS right when it comes out before it's even proven itself...Wow so many people fall into the Microsoft trap...well this situation sorta sucks for you because in order to make this hard drive dos bootable you have be able to get to a dos prompt, which XP has COMPLETELY done away with! So your pretty much screwed. Sorry. But let say you are able to get this hard drive into a machine that still has a regular version of windows (like 98 or something). Get to a dos prompt first. Then, (lets say your new harddrive is mounted as the D: drive), type:
: : format d: /s
: : That /s copies the necessary system files to the drive that will make it a bootable dos drive. So get rid of XP and go back to something that you know is better (even though it doesn't look as pretty, which is the reason why 3/4 of the people probably bought it anyways!). Did you know that in benchmarks that have been released this past week it has been proven that Windows 2000 is FASTER than XP? funny
