Don't know =P Mom gave it as a Christmas present in 07 so she would know. If I have to, I'll ship it back to her to have a new HD put in which is what I think I'm going to wind up having to do. =/

Oh I see now. I must have mis-read that instruction c= *runs to make CD* EDIT: I get to step 6: Hit the "build" button. PE Builder will now ask you to create a BartPE directory, answer with "yes". When I hit the "build" button, though, I get this error: Invalid source path (cannot find file...

Will this still work as I run Windows Vista on my desktop, and Windows XP pro on the laptop?
