Therefore the fans were only circulating warm air and the longer they ran the warmer the air became. Today I have been running the PC all day with the side panel in place. The day has also been cooler. No problems so far. Time will tell. In regard to clean install. 2K Pro is installed and I have a sealed XP Pro upgrade. My understanding is that for the upgrade to install correctly it has to be installed over an existing OS. I have another HD of the same capacity as the one in question and also a 1TB WD desktop drive and power supply. I have a lot of data to be retained. How would you suggest I go about doing it?	bluenose (14548)

Or connect it to a SATA connection if its SATA. Then get what you want off it. I think you can do a clean install with an upgrade. It may ask for proof of a previous OS	Speedy Gonzales (78)
