    problem with Partion Magic
    « on: January 06, 2009, 10:53:07 PM »
    Hi;

    I've done a stupid thing.  I have an older Dell laptop which was running Windows 98 and was hopelessly messed up from years of playing with it, so I decided to install Windows XP (Home) hoping to do a fresh install and wipe everything out. 
    When I was using '98 I had formated my 10gig HD into 5 separate (and roughly equal) partitions.
    I was successful in installing the XP but it seems to have installed in the "C" partition (which is slightly larger than 2 gig) and the other partitions or 8 gig are nowhere to be seen. 

    What I was wanting to do was completely wipe out everything, and install Windows XP into the C drive with no partitions.  Not sure what to do now.  Oh, I should mention my version of XP is the upgrade version. 

    Can anyone help? ???javascript:replaceText('%20???',%20document.forms.postmodify.message);
