Hi All

Erm i formatted both my drives the other day and was abit hasty in doing so and have noticed a partion has been created on the main drive which is only 8mb and is labled C: this is abit of a B!tch becos most software automatically installs to C: such as the non manual installtion drivers etc however i do know that other software installs to the drive containing the windows folder which is fair enough however if i can Delete this C: partition on the main drive everything will default to D: being the Drive with the OS on. How can i delete this 8mb Partition without Formatting the Drives again as everything has just been put bk on the drives which took hours and i didnt even notice the problem. Pls Help

Thanx

I have looked at this before, for my laptop. I think its a re-format if you want to completely get rid of the partition..or something like partition magic if you want to change the sizes of the two partitions.
 
load the xp cd and use that to delete the 8mb partition then m8.
 
I Wouldnt Mind gettin giving the C: a Few GB off the D: Partition as long as its a quick and easy process via Partition Magic

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
