So anyways, motherfucking Windows.

Clean install of WindowsXP w/ SP2 and bang it chokes a dick w/ my cdrom drives.  Getting I/O errors and "windows cannot read from this disk.  The disk might be corrupted or it could be using a format that is not compatible w/ windows"

Fuck you microsoft, fuck you very much.

According to google this is some kind of SP2 fuckup.  I'm going to try some stuff but really its fucking annoying.  Can't get drivers installed and XP is not picking up my mobo's built in ethernet for some fucking reason.  The connection is there (1534 or w/e that # is) but it isn't really connecting.  Which is odd, but mostly annoying as fuck.

That's odd. You could try installing it on another machine and building your own install ISO of it using the admin tools.

Dunno if you tried it all slipstreamed together but if you haven't. Grab nLite, throw in this addon pack (most post sp2 patches), and download/integrate your mobo drivers with nLite.

Oh btw found something annoying with windows. The recovery console has the tools "fixmbr" and "fixboot" to get your operating system back to a bootable state. Guess what, neither checks/warns you if there's no active/bootable partition set. Took another tool to fix my lappy :(
