Sorry Andy,wish I could have been any help

How fragmented were the drives? You could have a corrupted MFT (in other words, your OS is toast and needs to be reinstalled). Thats just a possibility though. If its pretty fragmented than I can almost guarantee that your OS has been fragmented as well. The only fix for that is a reinstall (I think). Reinstalling the OS is ALWAYS the easiest route if you know how to back everything up and put the drivers back on and stuff. I never waste my time trouble shooting because I'm alwasy backed up. Any glitches and I reinstall a fresh copy. Takes maybe 2 hours to get everything back to normal and install all the apps but its 2 hours of simplicity with no frustrating head scratching.

How old is your Windows installation? WinXP needs to be reinstalled about once a year because of all the BS that clogs up its operation. If you are tihnking about upgrading to Win7, don't. Its a whole new OS to learn. You might as well make the jump to Linux (MicroSoft stole most of their new ideas for Win7 from them anyway) as Linux is easier to learn than the new Win7 and is free. Think I'm kidding about Win7? Go try it on somebody else's PC.

As someone mentioned earlier, its best to just go cold turkey on MicroSoft. Go to www.distrowatch.com and download any of a number of Linux OS's that specialize in music, such as 64 Studio, ArtistX, Musix, and/or Ubunto Studio. You will find the equivalent freeware version of your music software already on these OS's.

You can burn a Live CD/DVD to test drive the OS before you install to see if you like it. Just boot from the Live CD/DVD and log in.
