Disk Partitions??
I have recently done a clean install of Win ME. All seems
to have gone well But I have noticed that the capacity shown for my C Drive has gone from 13 Gb to 7 Gb. I cannot see another partition or another drive. Have I inadvertantly partitioned my hard drive? If so can I unpartition it without going through the complete reinstall again? Thanks in advance |

Thanks in advance what does FDISK have to say about it ? in a DOS Window, type FDISK /STATUS it should tell you if you have another (unformatted) partition hanging around. Rick |

Disk Partitions??
c:
and I don't have XP cds because it came with my system. I was trying to install a clean copy of XP from system32.exe. I installed some weird version of Windows, because it didn’t have any drivers and looked terrible. So I tried to remove it. The computer installed it in what it is calling partition 1 and calling it Windows.0. I deleted the windows.0 from the C drive, but when the computer boots up it tells me that my hal.dll file is missing or corrupt; then I press F8 and then it gives me the option of selecting either of the operating systems it thinks it has. But it can’t have them both, can it? I deleted one, I think. This al comes from a severely infected computer that I have tried to clean now for 2 weeks. I have Norton, AVG, adware, and spybot. The computer is still telling me that I have some Trojan in my system32, so I turned off my system restore and ran AVG again - it found nothing. All I need to do is remove the additional operating system. Remain with the crappy infected stuff I had and make it work ....aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! PLEASE help me. |

You should really post this to a WindowsXP newsgroup (these are WindowsMillenium groups). microsoft.public.windowsxp.general for instance. Good Luck Rick |
