Just switch your windows firewall off, I would post a jpg picture to show you how to do this if I was not at work using XP SP1.

However, if you accidentally switched on the windows firewall then went on to configure it, again accidentally, therefore the easiest thing to do is switch the (silly) thing off.

KFurrow,
Here's some info from UK Bob about your chdk (chkdsk?) error

I could be wrong but, if I remember correctly, chkdsk (check disk) was used back in the day to mark bad sectors on hard disks, so the OS would not try to save data to that area.

It also meant, unofficially, that the HD was starting to fail because each time chkdsk was run it would find more bad sectors/areas.

Hope this helps

I would do a system restore. But there might be another way.

The chkdsk was for aol which I am not really worried about. I just need to wipe my OS clean and start over...
