A whole pile of activity happens, but nothing I want. It is as if the modem is getting flooded with do much crap that it an't do what I want, but i dont know. So, any help ould be very much apprecciated. On another hand, when I tried to format my hard drive (C:) in the XP's disk thingy, it says that I cannot format removable media, but it is a damn hard drive?! HELP	Madcat (5098)

Can't remember the exact details but boot from your XP disk and start a new install - at some stage you should be able to format the target partition. However if the only reason you are doing this is because your modem does not seem to be working would probably be an overkill. Have you tried removing your modem from the system, reinstalling the hardware then the software (drivers) and settings? John	JohnD (509)
