It now only found the one installation of xp that I had just reloaded, so....does that mean the other is just too messed up. should I just give up?

[Murray S.]

Boot into the one that works.. From there, go to Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management and click on Disk Management..

Now, tell me what you see on the right side of the screen..

administrative tools is not under control panel or at least I dont seem to have it, but I know i have seen it before.

[Murray S.]

Then, I strongly suggest you use your XP cd and do a complete re-install using the option to remove all partitions before re-installing XP..

ok i had to switch to classic view but I found it, on the right side under volumes, it shows my C drive and my D (cd-rom) drive. Should I still reinstall?

[Murray S.]

What does it say beside the c: drive??

Murray

[poimhn]

Layout: partition Type: Basic File System: NTFS Status: Healthy (System) Capacity: 19.14 GB Free Space: 11.92 GB % Free: 62% Fault Tolerance: No Overhead: 0% Thats what follows the C: drive

[Murray S.]

Look lower.. It should give you the drive and if it is partitioned

[poimhn]

Theres a bold dark blue line that is denoted on the bottom as Primary Partition. Below the line is a box with the amount of space as I wrote above. Is that what you are asking? (ps thanks for all the help so far, youre awesome)

[Murray S.]

That's close.. as an example, this is what mine says (under the dark blue line)

WIN2000PRO (C:)
37.27GB FAT32
Healthy (System)

That's all... Now, what does yours say??

Murray

[poimhn]

(C:)
19.14GB NTFS
Healthy (System)

[Murray S.]

Okay.. there is no d: there other than d: drive being your cd-rom??

Murray

[poimhn]
