I dont know, you say you were downloading. Go to a friends house, create a boot disk then take it from there. Saying that though....xp is a bootable disk mate...if all else fails reformat. Buttttttttt...I cant stress how important Norton anti-virus is....i had avg and found it crap. Norton is the ONLY software I ever bought and is also a bootable disk. Noooooooooooooo, I dont work for Norton lol lol lol

Good luck mate...but remember...ya can reformat if it still goes tits up
