Man, there is just nothing like holding your child and having her unexpectedly projectile vomit all over you. Had to take a shower to get the smell out of my hair. Good times.

Well, there is something almost quite like it; having them vomit in your open mouth as you are talking to them (Don't recommend it, FYI) and having them projectile shit all over you and anything in a three foot radius. (yes, I am using the term radius correctly)

Indeed, good times... someday we'll look back on this and...

What's next? Can one of the Linux live cds run a drive test?

Hmm. Have you tried reinstalling XP? That'd be interesting. If it installs ok, then it's probably not faulty hardware but a hardware incompatibility with Win7.

Various forums suggest: pulling all but one RAM stick, updating the BIOS firmware, moving the install disk to a bootable thumb drive. I'm thinking that #2 is the best suggestion, but it's also the highest degree of difficulty.

I was able to copy the install DVD to a thumb drive just to prove that the DVD was OK. Maybe I will try making it bootable just to see what happens.

I went ahead and updated the BIOS. It worked!

The MB is the Asus M2N SLI. Asus makes it pretty easy to update your BIOS.

Yeah that's what I meant by It worked - should have been more specific. After updating the BIOS, the Win7 install worked. I am in the process of trying to get the old apps running on the new installation.

Excellent. Let us know how you like it.

And how it performs on older hardware.

I've got win7 working on my 5-year-old desktop. It's been far more stable than xp ever was.
