All taken care of. Thanks for the help!

I have 7 different i386 folders and an i386 .dll file. They are in the following: c:windows/driver cache c:windows/servicepackfiles c:windows/servicepackfiles/servicepackcache c:program files/java/jre1.6.0_13/lib c:program files/java/jre6/lib c:programfiles/common files/apple/mobile device support/bin c:windows/system32/reinstallbackups/0002/driverfiles c:windows/system32/reinstallbackups/0003/driverfiles As for picking a location, I definitely choose my laptop. Aside from needing it for work, it's a much better computer than this desktop. I believe the term for my desktop is "dinosaur". Thanks for the help! I'm assuming those "reinstallbackups" are the files I'll need to use?

Now I have another reason to hate my ex. I haven't seen it since she left which means she probably took it with her. My copy of xp pro on my desktop is legitimate. I can't create an installation cd out of it? All I have is a windows 98 2nd edition and I don't see how it would be useful at all.

Hello all you computer gurus. I have an xp desktop computer and a newly-dead vista laptop (hp pavillion dv9500). My laptop hard drive died so I bought a replacement off of newegg and now I need to put an os on it. I no longer have my xp pro cd. So I guess my first question is can I use nlite to create an installation cd using files from my current installation of xp pro on my desktop or will I have to create an installation cd through some other means as my first step? Thanks a bunch and I'll check back here often.
