I have NSW 2005 (you mentioned you installed this year's NAV) but I'm running XP Pro and this file is in C:\Windows\System32. What version Norton are you running?

This was definitely a Windows issue because it wasn't happening in Safe Mode or Linux. I also couldn't start the Windows recovery manager from the CD.

Hard disk utility to prevent access to bad blocks?
Short of a repair install (or a clean install) of XP, you might try running the system file checker to "repair/replace" key system files. The command is SFC /SCANNOW. Sometimes it will start normally and then freeze after a little while. I can boot to safe mode/safe mode with networking - but that is annoying.

So indeed it doesn't get any worse at all.

Vista can't see ANYTHING Networking Set Up Issue
You can still run OE from the Start menu. You can even run both OE and WLM side by side while you decide which one you like better, because OE will maintain its Store Folder and WLM I am running under XP. Does Windows LM have the functionality of OE and is it more reliable? Many thanks for any feedback. -- Sam.

I wonder if the "repair reinstall" couldn't be run from the updated Windows setup on the HD rather than from the "outdated" CD. Start>Run, type "cmd" in the Run Box and hit Enter. At the prompt in the Command Window, type "sfc /scannow" and hit Enter. SFC will ask for the XP cd and that's why you need the XP

That might confuse us humans, but it doesn't bother either Vista or WinXP. After working with it for a while, it doesn't bother me, either, since I've learned to rely on the volume names, not letters. As you suspected, we can't easily change the letters for the System Partition or the Boot Volume except by running

You CAN NOT do that with Win2K, XP or anything newer. From waht I know, if the XP computer dies, you either have to find an identical motherboard, or you lose all data (or have to get an expensive data retrieval company involved). For that reason, I won't even touch XP or Vista. I'm not sure of WinME allows for
