Thank you Tom. I used an old Partition Magic to resolve the partition issue. Version 7. Worked fine!
Insofar as administrator I am not sure what to do but I noticed that when I enter in Safe Windows they gave me a choice of Administrator or Marcio. But when I go straight it is only Marcio and I am the administrator. I enjoy these things... up to a point...
