1.) For whatever reason, windows installer is not working.
"Windows® installer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I can't install anything from a CD or from a download. 2.) Also, my CD/DVD-RW drive no longer shows as being able to burn DVDs. (Although I think I can solve this if I reinstall Nero...which I can't do until the first issue is resolved ARRRGH!!) 3.) My portable USB 2.0 hard-drive (WD 600U017-000 60GB Passport silver) is no longer recognized by windows. HELP ME

did you do what chook said and try repairing XP from the bootable disc?
also, try Windows Update if that will work... do you have SP2? If not, try and upgrade. ya never know, it might replace some files that became corrupted or something. --------------------  |
