OK so he got about 90% installed correctly with a few minor files missing and 2 drives which could not be found. Started updates Friday 21 first was 138 XP security Ie 8, etc. the following updates in smaller batches thru Sunday, no issues.
last 2 however upon reboot on start up pop up firewall is off, went to control pannel - opened wirewall setting and sure enough it was disabled?????? after the last update and firwall turned off I have not recieved a single update thru custom setting on update page. Called Microsoft said there have been other people with the same issue was going to switch me to level 2. level 2 told me he wouldn't help unless I paid for out of warrenty service. Yikes to fix an issue with their update service????????????? Guess they want the rest of use to either pay one way or another if we don't buy an new OS. What a shame I was going to wait for 9 which is supposed to be compattable to XP.
