Last good config made no dif, neither did wiping it with a cloth. Though the disc is scratched a fair bit, there's 1 small nic thats noticable. I'll copy the contents to another disc see if that makes a dif. After that I'll remove my network card and try again. Pray something works. XD Thanks for help btw blackjack.

Baaaaaaaaaah, taking out network card didn't make a difference... I'll try repair with the new cd.. /rage

Starting to get annoyed now lol. I done everything I can possibly think of.. there are two causes that I can think of:
1. Something wrong with HD (CHKDSK gives error found everytime)
2. I had a boot skin and logon skin with Stardock, this could stop something showing because before when I did updates I couldn't see what it was updating I just saw my custom logon with no text.
Also as it looking like I'm going to have to reformat, are there any disadvantages of getting a internal HDD then putting it into an enclosure over a ready-made external HDD?
