To jacuzzis: thanks for that tip about putting in the sp2 disk. I was seriously stumped on that one, it caused some major problems. I decided to start fresh with a new, clean, WD 500gb SATA HDD, works flawlessly now. I have installed MCE 2005 in a Thermaltake Soprano case, on a Asus P5Q pro mobo, with a P4 ht 3.2 chip (waiting for a core 2 duo) running 5 HDDs, 2gb DDR, ATI 256mb radeon fanless, and of course a dvd rom drive just to install the software. i have all this wired to my panasonic 42'' plasma with 5.1 dolby digital surround using coax cable. Purely using for downloaded media, and just bought an avermedia hd tuner from tiger. Very very pleased with this software, very stable. I highly recommend it!

Note to Radtoy: When asked for the XP Pro SP2 disk, just put the first disk back into the drive. XP Media Center IS XP Pro with extra bells and whistles. Funny thing though...TD was only charging $109.99 when I bought MY copies of it.
