I just installed windows XP again, after totally wiping my hard-drive. I did this because my partitions had become overlapped somehow, and this was the only way I knew how to fix it (partition magic wouldn't even help). It installed fine, I installed it to a 40 gig partition (C:) and had another 60gig partition for storage. Both of these partitions are FAT32.
At first everything went fine. I downloaded all my backup files from my brothers computer, then started installing drivers. I started with the video driver, seeing as how even moving a window was slow. I ran the driver and half-way through the screen went dead and I realized I hadn't installed the AGP drivers for my motherboard yet. I had to power-off the system and boot into safe-mode to un-install the nvidia drivers. Then I installed the AGP drivers, and then tried to install the Nvidia drivers without restarting. I copied over the nvidia files during installation and tried again. Once again a failure.
Figuring the third times the charm, I started up my computer again, booted up, and tried installing my video driver again. This time it won't let me overwrite the files I had already written because of a file-system error. Now, it won't let me delete/overwrite anything on C:, while D: runs fine. I can create files on C:, but when I try and felete something it tells me it doesn't exist. I can even save a document, I just can't delete or overwrite it. Any idea whats wrong?
