If no change, consider backing up any data you need to keep, then use boot and nuke to comprehensively wipe the drive

Use the autorun, or one which has 3 or more passes, which will take an hour per 25GB of drive size

Re-install XP using the default NTFS format, not quick, and check it is creating a RAW1 partition on C, if it is any different, press the reset button to restart set up

Tried to Defrag, but it froze up on me while trying to move a file called V_BOS or something similar.. system then crashed again into a re-boot, with the following serious error message after start-up:

Error signature:

it then opened up a brower to this link:

That being said, I guess I'll go on with the other steps since I've tried to defrag a few times now, with crashes as the result..

Things are running slightly better, but now my Panda Antivirus wont update... it DLs the update, but doesn't aply it.

That, and simple tiny programs like HJSplit [file splitter] cause the system to freeze, forcing a manual reboot.

Please don't tell me I have to re-install windows for the 18th time in a few weeks.

What's the position with defragmenting?
