Hi canna

Time supplied at extra cost a (in my case) green CD titled "Your
Reload/Backup CDv6". This contains about 1.4Mb of files to access a Ghost
image of the original "out of the box" state in hidden, non readable
partition(s) on the HD.

I do not know if all Time computers had the Ghost image loaded as standard
on the HD and only had to put the recovery CD in the box or specially
formatted HDs with the Ghost partition as a special. Mike M (I think)
suggested a file to me that might detail hidden partitions, but when I tried
that file, it did not find any hidden partitions on my HD.

Only other thing I can suggest is; when you defrag, in the detail view, do
you see lots of sectors shown as white squares with a red corner (data that
will not be moved)? These MAY be the hidden Ghost partitions.

If you want more details of my machine, unmunge my email addy and contact me
direct.

Hi,

As I prepare to receive my new machine and move to XP, I'm going to sell
my
current PC running an OEM version of WinMe. It didn't come with a winME
disk
and I'm wondering is there a way to clean the PC and leave it as if ME has
just been installed.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Craig.
