Worse: the box doesn't have a > cdrom on it... Have you considered BUYING a hard drive and a cdrom drive. You could have both for just a little money or you could format and start over. Lord knows, we've all had to do that before. After 2 -releases it's hard to say what could be broken after your various upgrades and tweaks. At the very least, more info would be needed. In short, I agree with Matthew, you should probably upgrade and eat the expense/downtime.
