Ahh, I do that too. Well, sort of.
I have Windows 2000 on my PC as well. The thing is, it's not compatible with my wireless internet, I'd get it hard wired but well, takes too long.
Anyway, I have to use a flashdrive to get all my stuff off of this computer (with the internet obviously). And many times have I ****ed up what I'm trying to take over - excuse my asterisks.

Do you get a problem when you try and unzip something? Like as if it becomes corrupt?
