Word. Dude have you ever seen this problem before? I'm trying to load a new version of XP on a Toshiba laptop and whenever it reads the windows cd, during reformat process where it initially reads the data. It blue screens. I thought it may have been the CD-ROM drive that was going bad but I tried an external too and that didn't work.

Any ideas?

You have to install it within Windows to run the fucking utility. It takes forever to boot up and when it does programs don't even launch it's so bad.

Guys you can always recover any info off of a drive. It doesn't matter how messed up it is. If you really want it that bad it could be done.
