Hey:
Got a new computer (P-4, Intel) and tried to re-format and partition the way I like. The problem is, when I do the fdisk thing there seems to be one partition I am unable to delete (seems to be about 8000 mb). Keep getting messages about deleting logical drive first (but there is none) and then try to delete primary and it says I can't without deleting the other??? Am I too vague here?
Was going to try deletepar instead of fdisk to see if that works but not sure if this is a partition that must remain for some reason or another.
It does work, however, when I simply using the XP cd to format and partition. I just want to know (a) what is that partition and (b) how do I dlete it under fdisk?
Thanks,
Kesk
