Now this has to be the simplest operation - so reps to the first answer that works... and the first only 😉
I have an old ASUS XP3000+ rig that has a failing maxtor primary drive - but it is failing in the kindest way so the rig keeps limping along fine and is actually my primary rig for all leisure activities...
BUT it cannot take a format install (it's kinda messy, but has all my legacy stuff that is not critical, because I am lazy and can rely on our new 1TB server :smoker: )
SO I got to wondering, how old is the install on there? Gotta be an easy one to tell the date from something - but not under System Properties (though I reckon MS should put it there!) and BTW it is current on updates etc etc... so how do I tell when I last formatted and installed XP?
