I posted in the other newsgroup but didn't get much help, so I am trying here
also.
I just reinstalled win XP Pro and now when it boots it hangs for about 1
minute then goes to the black screen with the white progress bar on the
bottum and it goes extremely slow.?

R.click

"microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fast detect Or Pro for home,if
diffrent,
