Re: 6gb vista vs 3gb XP
I dont have a lot of time to deal with OS issues, and XP has been stable for me for a long time. There's an old saying that goes, "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it." Your computer is no exception, especially if you don't have time to deal with OS issues. If you upgrade from XP to Vi...

Dying flash drive?
I have a 2GB Sony Microvault flash drive that I am having issues with. Recently it has been getting progressively slower and slower, and by now in a fast computer with usb 2.0 it works at about the speed of a usb 1.1 flash drive. The drive is about a year and a half old, and was very fast when I fir...

Yeah- I'm serious though about Norton 360 not providing proper protection.

Norton sucks- it's mega-bloatware, system resource hog, and has so-so detection. The best scanner out there is NOD32. Very simple, very light on system resources, and much better protection than Norton. Get it here. I recommend the full Smart Security suite. And yes there is a free 30 day trial.

To try to boot windows to see if it is a hardware or software issue, try the boot disk at this site. It's meant for a different type of error, but if your win installation is still bootable, it will start it up.
