can you give us more details, as to how you think this may have happened, what were you doing, etc etc, usually in these situations, a format and reinstall is required, unless you can fix any of the partition information with a program that isnt located inside of the partition. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in : C++(both VC++ and Borland),VB1(dos) thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, HTML, Visual InterDev 6(ASP(WebProgramming/Vbscript)<br>

well if the data is loss, and you were trying to reinstall, try this, if in your BIOS you have a thing that does LowLevel format(Wipes the harddrive) use that, and then boot off the Win98 CD to start the instalation process(telling it to use the whole full size to allocate a partition; if it asks)<br><br>and you should be fine, considering you dont have any data you are trying to save.<br><br>now if you dont have a lowlevel format utility in your BIOS(or anywhere else like on a floppy) if you either have a Win98 Floppy or a CD and boot off that, you can possibly run FDisk and remove all the partitions off the drive. and repeat the step above to install windows.<br><br><i>Only do this, if you have nothing currently on the harddisk you want to save, otherwise you may need to find other methods</i><br><br>Hopefully thats some help. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in : C++(both VC++ and Borland),VB1(dos) thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, HTML, Visual InterDev 6(ASP(WebProgramming/Vbscript)<br>
