I need to find a copy of ME for purchase if Micron doesn't get me a copy of it by today Dec. 16. Its been almost two weeks since I requested a copy. My copy is not working at all and I need to reinstall the OS. Yes I know I need to upgrade to XP PRO but my wife won't let me until I can move all our MUSIC(15 gigs worth almost). She dosen't trust that the music will be saved. Whatelse can I do huh once she put her foot down :lol: .

the same thing will happen if you reinstall ME as opposed to upgrading to XP Pro...nothing. You can do an in place upgrade, which I (and most others) would prefer a new install. But I did an in place upgrade on my laptop (no time for the new install) and it worked(s) great. Do you have a backup that you can put those files on? And 15GB? I bet you do not need to save all of it!

Right now convince her she dosen't need all that damn music...even though I may have exaggerated on the amount but takes up a large percentage of our hard drive(The C: drives capacity is 35 gigs). But far as the in place install, I'm not banking on that. I haven't formatted this drive in about oh since I got it two years ago so its time and I don't want to go into a new OS without that done first. Plus I think that drive maybe has six months left, not for sure but I think thats the deal. Right now I can't play any games due to several file issue's plus several other issues and they need to be replaced which they are only on the CD. I've searched the internet and I can't find a CAB file on microsoft or anyone's website. I've been thru this before and the temporary fix for right now is to reinstall the OS. Until I can find a place to store several things besides the music that is of grave importance, but I can put the other files on CD but who wants to even attempt to try and burn God knows how many music CD's.

1. buy a new hard drive. $60 for 60 gigs.
2. swap your present drive to the slave position
3. install new drive to the master position
4. format new drive and reinstall OS - XP, ME or whatever.
5. You will still have all your mp3's on the old drive and you can read them fine with the new drive's OS. move them to the new drive then reformat the old drive.
6. you will now have nearly 100 gigs of storage with little hassle and no loss of data.
7. this is cheaper than buying xp - your wife will love that. but later when she is happy that she did not lose her music, buy xp anyway as your reward.
