Seriously, XP has been working find for the past 4 years and all of a sudden it's getting slow and restarting for no reason. I have no viruses or anything like that. Do you think it's a marketing ploy to buy Vista?
I have two 80GB HDD. I had the first one about 3~4 years and the second one about 2~ years. The reason why I reformated was because it wouldn't even let me go to the windows logo. It's only slow booting up, but once I'm in it's as it used to be.
