I shouldn't complain, but............

.............I'm confused!

Hi, Big Problems trying to boot into WIN so I felt it was time to use
the Dell WIN XP HOME CD to Format C: and reload everything for a fresh
start.

When finished..I noticed that I did not have to load any of the umpteen
drivers that I normally had to load when re-loading WIN XP, such as the
Intel drivers, Graphics Drivers, USB drivers, etc.

How's come...since it was a fresh install on a newly formatted "C"
partition? On an older Dell, (a year older) I had to reload
EVEYTHING!!!!

ThanX, Mike

Trouble with this world is that it is filled with apathy. But who
cares, anyway!
