Well, it's finally time to reinstall XP again, it's slow as a wet week.
This time is probably the least painful install, as a while ago I bought removable hard drive cases. I just pulled out the current master, installed the new drive and started the process - it is a nice feeling knowing that at any time I can slide the drive back in and be where I was.
Once the new system is set up the old master becomes the junk drive, until the next time....
Mind you, it's still not fun.
