i fkd my partition

[eNOonMaI]

hey

k recently when transferring equipment into a new case something happened and my "C:" got wiped...thats ok not the real issue here....

so i grabbed a -py little 12.7gb ide i found under my bed and installed WinXP onto it but there was something wrong with the partitioning of the drive...i now dont have a "C:" instead i have an "F:"...

now my problem becomes apparent: my motherboard software (sound, lan, etc) is hardcoded to install to a "C:" not an "F:"... so there is no installing of that for me.....

so i was damn...and put my winXP cd in and went to boot from it so i could start over and try to fix this problem of partitioning....nope....my keyboard now freezes right up until win loads....so there is no way i can boot from cd....

help????? how do i fix this?

reinstall again... this time delete the c: partition b4 u start. Adding the second hdd just f*cked up things, long story short

i added the sata (Z) after i had instaled windows

How many drives are now in the system ?

Did you delete and then recreate partitions on each of the drives ?

Are you running one IDE drive and one SATA drive together ?
