Just a quick note here, when someting toasts the MBR as long as the partition + data are intact and fine, you can re-write the MBR, but you need to use a boot CD or put it in another machine and go to a command prompt, navigate to that drive (usually E: on a system with 1 hard drive and 1 optical drive) and type "fixMBR" if unsure, type "fixMBR /?' (without quotes) to get quick help. Just my $0.02 worth. P.S. Punk buster has caused me many problems since 9x OS. I usually don't have it even installed. It works for anti-cheat yes, but it causes problems. I havn't run it on my x64 machines YET, but in 32bit boxes, it's flakey part of the time. 80% of my machines use ASUS, the rest are GIGABYTE, MSI or SuperMicro motherboards...

How about this folder? It's contents are hidden, but I have over 450MB worth of 'updates'. C:\Windows\$hf_mig$\ Also there are hotfix uninstallers in the folders BELOW this one, not 'in' it. That`s right - once you have started like this you only need to add the new hotfixes in your "My_Hotfixes"-Folder and keep your list up-to-date. But if you start NOW right from scratch it would be a lot of work - but only this time.
