Hi to all, here is my problem!
I have 2 hard drives, (C :) is 40 mb and (D :) is 60 mb. I use (D :) to keep special files and movies etc! ALSO my Image Restore is on the (D :) About a year ago I paid a technician to install Drive Image 2002, instead of putting a partition on my (C :) he put the Restore Image on the (D :) and I have used it many times and have been very happy with it! However I feel that I would now like to change my restore image by formatting my (C:) , doing a clean install of Windows XP Prof, selecting just the programs and favorites that I want and saving my own Image File with my Drive Image 2002!
I have Windows XP Prof (legal!)
Well I have formatted my (C:) in the past and know how to do it, but after booting up with my Windows CD and starting a new install it will not let me format my (C:) drive so that I can put a clean install on it! It keeps saying delete my (D :) partition. (the tech’ put my Restore Drive onto my (D :) drive!)
Is it possible that if I uninstall the Drive Image 2002 program then delete the Restore Image on my (D: ) that I could then do a clean install of Windows XP Prof and it will let me format my (C: ) ?
I hope this does not sound too complicated! Bye. Norman
