I did get it working, once, and I must admit the quality was prety good, but unless you fancy rebuilding your pc many times over, forget it, try something else instead mate - life's too short wasting on the pvr250. Search this site and you'll see others have had problems too. I bought a 250 about 18 months ago, and I can say I had nothing but problems getting this card to work. Is my first option viable? If not, I'll have to go with spendy option #2. My local guru told me that my system does have the physical space and the capability of running a 'third' hard drive. The other option would be easier but involve $$$. but I'm wondering how easy/difficult it would be to have Win98SE/XP cohabitating on the same hard drive in separate partitions.

Would it be possible, without losing any current data on the C drive, to partition off part of it as a new G drive - putting XP on the G drive and leaving the D drive free for capture only? It's easy to set up a separate hard drive on XP. That leaves me with one more hard drive for XP (and capturing).

I keep one of my hard drives set up on Win98SE because some of the programs are old and may not have XP driver support - and I want to keep using those old programs. That's important, as those swap files can kill you.

No OS on it, especially not during capture. Thanks to all who reply.Р”В¬onsider a drive ONLY for video files. While I don't plan on using either feature, I do want to make certain my system operates at a speed capable of RELIABLE MPEG2 captures as mentioned above before I shell out the money for one of them. The reason I'm worried is because some people on eBay have told me that to use the pause or instant replay features, a 1.5 ghz (or better) Pentium 4 is required. However, I'm worried that this may only be a 'minimum' requirement for card use as opposed to a 'safe/recommended' speed requirement. Only a 733 mhz Pentium III is required to use the card successfully. My plan is to use the card for two purposes only:Р”РЋ) Capture home video through composite inputs, saving on-the-fly in MPEG2 standard play format (8 mbps) at 720x480 NTSC.Р”Сћ) Capture TV programs, saving on-the-fly in MPEG2 standard play format (8 mbps) at 720x480 NTSC. Also, I have a dual-format (-/+) DVD burner already installed. and I'd be using the WinTV-PVR card only on the XP operating system. My XP drive will be used exclusively for video capture purposes. I have a dual-boot system (2 hard drives, 40 gigs each) with one HD set up on Win98SE and the other on XP Home Edition. My system is a 1.3 ghz Celeron with 256 megs RAM.
