Thanks i looked at nlilte, the system i have is vista so would i need xp drivers ive looked around but im a bit cluless to what drivers i need and were to get them from and would they have xp drivers for my board. the other thing i thought about is it possible to add a second harddrive with xp onit like a dualboot would this be easier or would i still have the same driver problems. A certain progrmme i use alot will not work on vista that is my reason for melting my own head. Nick
