I have recently had to reinstall XP on a laptop which got a nasty virus. I did a clean quck reformat of the drive using the backup disk supplied with the computer. (The exhaustive reformat stalled at 14% so had to use the quick reformat.) I then installed XP with SP2 from the same disk. Next, I installed the hardware drivers and BIOS upgrade recommended by Dell. OK so far. I had internet access through IE6 and all fundamental programs with XP SP2 seemed to work fine. I then wanted to install SP3. I went through a couple of cycles with Windows Update. I recall one cycle with ~74 updates. One item was IE8 which would not install as it wouldn't pass the "Malicious …

This was all working before a crash where I had to reload Win 7 64. Operating system is installed on SATA 1 on Motherboard (using the motherboards chipset) and is functioning fine. Raid controller 3Ware 9500S-4LP installed and showing correct driver with no problems. Raid manager (Alt-3 on bootup) shows 4 WD Raptors. I set all 4 as a Raid 0 array. Windows does not see the array in disk manager. Previously, it was set (and working) as Drive E: I don't remember how I completed the install previously, but as I said... it was working.

I just got an email 'from' Windows Live with a subject "ACCOUNT DE-ACTIVATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and said that Windows Live had a database problem and many records were lost. My account had been inactivated and asked for account info including Name, User Name, Password, Date of Birth and Country. The message said that MS needed the information to rebuild my account. The IP was from Redmond but it doesn't sound like something MS would do -- Especially using 15 exclamation marks in the subject. Is this a problem or scam?? If it is a true problem, I will be VERY disappointed in Windows Live. However if it is a scam you may want to find the computer at IP address 65.54.1…
