i was talking about cloning this HD, the one that im using for this computer, however, i couldnt find good HD cloner, so i decided to re format and its not worth the viruses and spyware that comes with this HD, so i reformated HD, now when i go to install XP it keeps freezing during the installation, ive used my orginal CD, froze with that one, so i thought it may be a scratch, now i used my backup and still freezez, do you think there may be a problem with my HD, which is cuasing it to freeze the installion?
