Ok, so now I am totally confused! Herb and Chris say one thing, whilst Robert says the complete opposite!
BTW, Herb, I have Partition Magic 8 which I got when I bought my laptop that had also been partitioned and I managed to remove the partitions using that without too much drama... Not sure if I'm game enough to try it here though, I would probably lose a good portion of my data. Of course, when I get my DVD burner it won't be an issue, I can burn it all, but at the moment I have about 20gb of data to "save" and that's aloooooot of CD's!! Also, I don't have the original windows CD with this and thus can't reformat the hard drive... Maybe I should just wait until the manufacturers open tomorrow morning and ring them and ask them about the way the drive is set up...? Oh, AND this probably makes a huge difference in what all of this means and I should have posted it originally... BUT, the "C:" is formatted as NTFS and the "D:" is FAT32 - Can anyone explain THIS? The plot thickens... tan. -----Original Message----- From: Herb Chong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 28 March 2004 11:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: OT - A computer Question... i don't know who configured your computer, but i can't imagine a restore drive being more than about 5 or 10 GB. 60 GB is ridiculous. it says 90% free, so it is even more ridiculous. take the computer to someone that has and knows how to use the current version of Partition Magic and have them resize the two partitions to be about 80G for your C drive and everything else for your D drive.
