Ah, whatever any computer place tells you probably is bull if they download the updates from the Internet anyway. I had Windows 2000 on a computer and before I could download the critical updates I got numerous messages about how my computer was not secure. The only way that I know nothing would be on a computer is if they had a DVD at home of the critical updates updated enough not to cause something to happen before downloading the next new updates. Did that interfere with the running of the computer (with Win2K)? No, not actually, but it was highly annoying. I had a list I never did clear out that I transferred to a new computer that I never made it through to clean it out and then Windows XP came along anyway. Of course perhaps that was just messages from Microsoft's Servers anyway, but a short time after that, Microsoft and their Servers became more secure and did not have that crap coming through anymore. Perhaps that has changed, but when the OS company can't even keep their Servers clean, you start wondering why you are using Windows to begin with. But that is all in the Past, and hopefully that has changed, but with other Servers on the Internet, some are not kept up to date with that kind of virus stopping critical updates. Like a mine-field and moving through it, I guess. Of course I was being a little critical with the first sentence of this post because that is the way that it was. And at the time also you were not suppose to be running a anti-virus program anyway to download the critical updates to begin with, that program may interfere with installing the critical updates. Well, back to something more positive to talk about.

Got it back and appears the Fresh Clean install on Widows went good.

Getting ready to order up X2 From Sweetwater.

Not sure whether to just do the X2 install or,

Throw X1Expanded and all the patches on it first.

What ta do What ta do???

Great
Loaded up X1 c, Expanded and d to get all my backup projects loaded to the project HDD with the OS on the other HDD in anticipation and prep for X2 install.

The OS is running GREAT, the Processor isnt even flinching when running a project off of the Extra Barracuda HDD.

Windows Security Essentials and Malwarebytes seems to be working Great along side it as well.

Thanks a bunch Fireberd and Space for all the input and help on this.

I guess my discks were JUNK

Great, glad to hear its back up and running properly.

I didn't reinstall X1 when I did a complete reinstall on my system recently.  I just installed X2 and my add-ons such as Melodyne and Ozone5.

Well I wasnt going to either but I have a waiting period to get X2 in and all my backups are on DVD which takes believe it or not about 20 minutes each to load and save to the HDD. 

Just trying to get ahead of the game before it makes it here LOL
