Unless you have priceless data, yes, I'd rebuild it.

Even if you have priceless data, I can give you a reasonable sized HD you can put in as a new primary.

Memory: If yo uwere a techy person, I'd say whoever is cheapest on Interweb. Base don your computer usage, I'd say whatever local retail store has it on sale. I might have a couple 64-128Mb sticks you could have if I can find them. How fast is the CPU/RAM on the system? Hom many RAM Slots?

If you have the Service Tag number off the system, It is probably easier for one of us to just look it up on-line.

Your choices are to go back to ME and live with it, or pay for a real copy of XP. Usually about $80... You can get them for less on eBay, but I always worry about Authenticity there.
