Thanks very much for the welcome. I have my hard drive split into two partitions - C: is about 5 gb, just big enough for the Windows OS and my D: drive is 75 gb and contains the Windows setup files and everything else. I'm installing from the HD because I've integrated SP1 with Windows XP Home so I don't need to update it later. I booted into DOS using the BumbleB boot disk - not sure if you're familiar with that one, but it's available on an abandonware site of the same name (which has been down for ages btw). I think it uses PC DOS. I've made myself Win ME and DOS 6.22 boot disks. Maybe using those instead will make a difference.

I don't really want to have to change the file structure to NTFS because I'd be lost without my Ghost backups. I really wanted to ditch my old Ghost images and start again from scratch, but luckily I hadn't deleted them before starting the re-installation. This allowed me to get back into Windows and search for a solution. The main reason I want to start again is because I've got duplicate drivers for all sorts of things and it's causing problems i.e. I can't get my built-in sound to work etc. When I tried installing, the primary partition was totally empty - the images and everything else are on my D: drive.

Thanks for the links btw. I'll check those out in a sec. I've got Mandrake 9.0 here and I even considered installing that instead, but I know I'll regret it as I did last time I tried to jump from the MS ship.
