So....I'm writing to you all from my ibooklaptop (creation date: ~1933).

I decided to try and upgrade my PC from 2000, which I love, to XP solely to watch netflix movies on xp...and it crashed my computer.

I still can get all of my files (I hope) but I'm going to have to reinstall programs and stuff....

Seemed like a good low content contribution.

OS Upgrades, crashes and reinstallations suck. Did you try to do an upgrade with the old OS still there or did you back up important stuff, wipe it clean (reformat) and install XP on a fresh hard drive?
I highly reccomend a clean installation over an "upgrade" installation over an old OS. Also make sure to take the time to get Service Pack 2 and any updates installed first thing. Get everything current with the OS, and working, then make a restore point before installing any apps. PITA but hopefully everything ends up OK.
