Use the Print Scr key, edit the image in paint or paint.net or any other editing program, then you simply host your images on an image hosting site like photobucket or Walagata. You upload to the hosting site your images, then copy the url of your hosted image and post it here

According to your boot.ini above, your XP installation is on drive F. Is this correct?
According to Disk Management, drive C is your system drive and that is where the boot files/folders should be located. Is that where you have them placed now piperjoe?

This is a bit of a long shot piperjoe and I have no idea if or why it could work, but try placing those three files on drive F as well.
Your boot.ini looks fine except that you could first try to add the switch
/NOEXECUTE=OPTIN so that it looks like below:
**************
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT
**************
If that doesn't work try changing the boot.ini to rdisk(1)partition(1) in both instances of the text but that does not look right to me.
You could also try running bootcfg from the recovery console of the XP CD as that recreates the boot.ini and you'll find instructions for it's use at the link.
It could simply be that your MBR is messed up on that drive and running fixmbr from the recovery console of XP may also do the trick or help sort it out

woo woo! i followed the first instruction, with no luck - but then i did the second one:
**********
If that doesn't work try changing the boot.ini to rdisk(1)partition(1) in both instances of the text but that does not look right to me.
**********
and it worked.
lol - now i just need to figure out how to do file transfers - but that's another fight for another day! ;-)
thanks, guys!
