    I partitioned and formatted an eighty GB hard drive into 4 equal drives. C,D,E,F. I Installed XP Home /S2 on the C drive succesfully but somewhere in my bumbling around, the C drive is the only one that is NFTS. The other three are RAW. They are all still clean and empty. What`s my best way of changing them over, or should I just back up and start over?

    Which utility did you use to partition?

    I assume that the C drive was formated NTFS during the initial stages of the installation but were the D, E and F drives formated?

    If not, go to diskmanager (Disk Management) and format those drives.

    Yes, McTavish, thanks for clarifying!

    Occasionally ... :eek: ... my translations of what my swedish speaking computer says are not spot on but I hope he (and others) understands what I mean.

    Oh...... I think you do quite well Christer. Can't say I've ever had a problem understanding what you were saying. I could go on about how it never ceases to amaze me how you can speak the English language, but then,,,, I think we've been there before. ;)

    Thanks for the replies. I apologize for not answering back.I didn`t get any notification in my E Mail that there were postings to my query.Got it all fixed with the CD and reading more about the setup process. I`m going to check my users CP and see why I didn`t get notification.
