Take your third drive and do a clean installation of Windows XP on it. Enough fiddling about with clones... John

I didn't buy a retail XP, I have nothing more than the working system, HP's on-board recovery partition, and no CD. I have no way to start with a clean installation. Even if I could, you know that I have so many apps, I'd probably never end up with a work-a-day system. Now to your other query (separately).

I think AIDA will list it, or maybe Start>>Control Panel will lead me to it. Is this a dual monitor card? This is a simple middle-of-the-line OEM HP Presario system, certainly with only one jack to connect a single monitor to. I think the answer is negative. Is the monitor plugged into monitor 1? It's plugged into the one and only access jack. > > John
