      If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

          If you deleted all partitions on your hdd then there is nothing to boot from.

          What are you trying to achieve and precisely what have you done so far :-?

          Partition Logic - Have you used this program before :-?

          Are any error messages being displayed :-?

                Run Partition Logic again and the Main Page should show the drives and partitions.  Can you post the screenshot you get please :-?

                When you mention [highlight]2 X 40gig drives[/highlight] do you mean two physical 40gig hdd's or do you mean two 40gig partitions on one physical drive :-?

                Do any of the limitations shown here apply to your system :-?  e.g. your hdd type (sata?) or file system etc..?

                    if i was to try and run a xp disc in there and boot up from that would i beable to run my restore discs?

                    would it still need a partition?

                    could i create one from there?

                    Thanks

                      From what you say I gather you have one physical hard drive which used to have a partition which held your XP system and that's the one you deleted.  The 4gb discrepancy is probably a recovery partition (80gb - 76gb) installed by the laptop supplier.

                      Hang in there for advice from someone more knowledgeable than me.

                        ok, thankyou, what partition software would you recommend and do you think it is a good idea for me to do this being as the laptop is only 2 days old and under warranty?

                        thanks

                          A full version of XP can do all the partitioning, I'm not sure about these restore disks.
                          A curse on these people who sell half baked OSs to save a buck. >:(
