Hey, i recently had to re-format my hard-drive (i was switching to linux and now i wanted to go back). so i removed all the partitions and put in my XP pro CD, upon installing it says that a lot of files are missing on the CD, i then tried another CD with the same problem. do you think this is a CD drive issue? or is it really bad luck and i should search the web for another copy?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Possibly your CD/DVD drive has gone up the spout.
I've seen very similar problems when the memory was bad.
Try reducing your FSB to see if it helps, if so something is running faster than it is capable of.

Maybe the reason your reinstalling holds the answer my computer was working fine before i re-installed, its less then a year old with new everything. both the disks i got were copies of originals and slightly scratched but they worked the first time. i'll try replacing my CD-ROM drive and lowering my FSB though, Thanks!
