I am going to be doing a reformat here soon.. can't even get windows to reinstall so I can boot up.. not sure how I am going to save stuff I have on the drive. I don't think there is a copy command that will create directories as well as copy files... or is there?

Anyway, everyone send me an ICQ.

Yes, there is... in DOS it's called XCOPY..
Example:
C:>xcopy/?  <---- That will get you all the pipes and tell you how it works
C:>xcopy [source] [destination] /E   <---Will copy all directorys and subdirectories including empty ones...


Word of caution... If you don't currently have windows installed, it will probably rewrite the file names using DOS naming conventions.. Not sure, but then again I never have/wanted to try. :D

I got into windows finally... good enough to copy the files I needed. The reformat and install went well. Card does not work.. I bought a new ABIT Siluro GeForce 2 MX 400 64mb SDRAM.. but no matter what I have tried it will not run any 3d applications without crashing. Only thing in there is the vid card, the ram, power supply, hdd, cpu, fans, mobo.. etc.. no other cards or anything. All the latest updates.. exchanged the mobo and vid card. I did everything I could on my end.. techs said to bring it in and they would take a look at it... will take 6 days though.  

*shrugs*

Seems my mobo and that ABIT card are incompatible. So I ended up with a Asus geforce 2 v7700 card which is running slower than my original geforce 256.. pffft

I just got some hardware upgrades for my PC to install next week. Pentium 3 750mhz processor, an additional 256mb RAM and will be snagging a geForce 3 Vid card (wholesale- my company's in the computer repair business).  Should make my system much more condusive to gaming :p
