correction (I haven't tried a load on this in a while) - Windows XP gets partway through install then I get an error that Windows (which is not yet installed) has been shut down to prevent damage to the computer. Suggests running chkdsk /f to check for corruption. I have a PC Doctor scan (somehow I've succeeded in making that available in one of my prior load attempts) running now. Not sure if I can get a command prompt to tell it to chkdsk /f. I'll see once PC doctor finishes
