I want to get started with Delphi

Lotus
I guess the first thing I need to know is where do I find a free compiler that has good features? And second, where do I go to get started learning? There are lots of sites, but what do you all use. I want a site that gets updated frequesntly, maybe one that has a good Delphi forum etc.

Corrupted C:

Durt
My winXP computer won't boot. . . the boot menu can't see windows. If I run the winXP install disk, setup says that C: is unpartitioned, it sees D: as FAT32 (correct) and it doesn't see E: at all. When I boot off of a win98 startup disk, I have access to all drives.
