Well, I don't see why you need this particular information, but I do remember there being two partitions on my computer as I was installing the Windows XP Home Edition.

But, the problems occurred BEFORE i installed the Home Edition. I installed Home Edition BECAUSE of the problems.

I'm not sure if I was clear enough on that before...

I apologize for the delay. I'm going to have you examine this page:

Description of the Windows XP Recovery Console for advanced users

That is a detailed step by step instruction on how to redo the Master Boot Record. Do these steps for the XP version you had on originally, which I believe said to be Media Center Edition.

Is there any possible way I can do those steps WITHOUT the CD? Because I THINK Windows XP Media Center was already installed at the time that I bought the PC.

If it didn't, then I still don't know the location of the box in which the computer came in, so I cannot find the CD, which is why I used the Windows CD that I could find...

Right click on My Computer and choose Properties.

Click the Advanced tab in the box that opens and then click Startup and Recovery.

Click the Edit box in System Startup and copy and paste what it says in there back here.

[boot loader]

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windo ws XP Media Center Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /usepmtimer
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons

Please supply a screenshot of what it says in Disk Management.

I'm not completely sure if this is what you need, but
