Boot Windows as an administrator user, type compmgmt.msc into the search box in the windows menu. A window should open , choose Disk Management from the left hand panel. This should display the partitions on your hard srive. If your version of windows is using UEFI you should have a small patition at the start of the disk marked as SYTEM_DRV partition. This is where UEFI lives. On no account should you blow away this partition witout knowing exactley what you are doing. Romoving this partition will most likely brick your computer Chers Ross Drummond _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
