Default the headache of reinstalling windows

Well it has been around 2 years since I installed windows and my PC was starting to seriously lag quite a bit, so I decided that it was time to reinstall windows. Well I use 2 partitions on my hard drive, so any files I deemed important were copied onto the other partition =P.

Anyways me being clever, I thought, why not use an SP3 Windows XP installation CD , instead of installing SP1 and then upgrading. So I formatted my drive , the windows installation came up.. Error.. . Fine must have been a one off thing.. let's try again ! .. Same error >.<

So after wasting around 1 and a half hours on that, I then decided to install SP1 , installed it all and then I inserted the SP3 CD by accident and it told me I could upgrade , well that would save me downloading it, I thought.. in the end it took me back to the installation screen where it showed me that nice error message I had before.. >_>.

So now I've wasted around 3 hours, I reinstall Windows XP SP1 AGAIN, this time I install SP2 (I had it on a CD) and now i'm downloading SP3 and reinstalling all those programs that I need.. Flashget, MSN messenger.. Ah the list continues on for quite a while.

Well in the end I'm guessing I've wasted around 6 hours on this

Lol I rather like hospitals,since I met my last girlfriend at a hospital xD , she had broken her leg and me an arm, rofl we were stuck next to each other for ages talking about random things xD.

Well I bought my PC for $600 brand new even though it was worth $2000 at the time (Long story made short.. The director for sony in europe gave it to me after they screwed me over) , so I can't relate the whole 'pc' thing =\

Well everything in life has a reason :| , just most of the time you never know what that reason is xD. (hmm, I'm a bit of an optimist now =\)

Well now to install SP3 and hope it doesn't break everything xD.
