Had W2k on C:\ and XP(student) on H:\ on the first partition. Advise was to install a real good XP on C:\ and while doing so to remove the partition, which XP would ask for.....well so i did, the partition got unallocated but the install stopped because of an fatal error...so I was left with good old W2K and an unallocated "Partition/HD"?..lol
Couldnt merge the 2 partitions (one was version 3.0 and the other was version/type 3.1.....) but I could extend C:\ to the utmost....whic I did....was only 180Mb left on the H:.....BUT........when clicking on "My PC" I cant see H:!!!!!!!
I see every HD, CDROM, DVDROM etc, but not H:...
??
trying to install XP over W2K on C:\ was unsuccesfull, fatal error there too....so what now? not even putting in a repair installation was possible, same fatal error...Is it possible to format C:\ completely? And if so, wil my DVDplayer still be able to read the XP-disc? And what happened to that strange/queer H: which isnt there but is there...lol...
Using cmd I got this:
