I have learnt that XP is no good for flashing. Although with userport I managed to flash files across, I could not get any software for setting the FAID, so it was no help at all. You could set up a dual boot of 98 and XP, then you can use 98 for the mobile modding and XP for your everyday work.

Thanks.
