Ok, I'm back up and running but I think I made a mistake. When I was installing WinXP I did a quick format instead of full. I'm getting the dark blue full screen error some times when installing my old personal files from old drive. It says something like make sure all your hardware drivers are up to date. And it's frozen you can't shut down except restart button. Did I screw up by not doing full format? Should I reinstall? I also quick formatted the big storage area.

If I have to reinstall can I just reformat the C: drive 120GB or do I have to lose all my data including D: 480GB?

Thanks
