Thank you I know my setup is a mess but I do not have boot up on my wdc, but it does contain my OS, the maxtor has boot up, but the os is old out of date and full of data, so I can't format or re-up the os, the usb hdd I refer to is a docking station with my maxtor in it just used to boot up windows, are you suggesting using the windows xp cd to boot windows up and leave the maxtor out of the situation, cos as I said there is no boot up on wdc & the hitachi is blank (new).
