No problems at all

Partitions are fairly easy once you get your head around them one
When reinstalling windows, you'll have the option of what partition to install it on, if you read the screen it will also give the option of deleting the partitions.

Delete both, and recreate the partition. It will leave 8mb off to the side again, which is normal - don't worry about it

also should i remove all cards,? graphics, audio?

Nah, you can leave all them in

Oh, i found this.

If you skip down to the Step By Step instructions...you'll be on your way in no time

However...before you run Windows Updates on the system, make sure you install the chipset drivers first...this is the *first* thing you should always install on a new install of windows

you are an absolute champion mate.. arrgghhh solitare on the laptop in front of a slow format is soo soothing hahaha. i think thats why microsoft includes it in every version of windows, to sooth savage customers!

hahaha, i find minesweeper works better for me

also i have done a slow format... as in the direction page u sent me it says to do it slowly.. make much of a difference? i think the more time i spend now the less troubles i will have later rite...
a question totaly outside this topic... how do i put my system specs up for people to view when they want to? you know, under the little arrow computer thingy next to ya name...
