Partation Help!

I have a 160gig HD, i've run fdisk and deleted everything (not) then created a single partition, then formatted and installed XP Home.

This 199MB partition keeps showing up in frt of my C: drive -- of which is the rest of the HD. I even installed EASEUS partition manager (it shows the partition but it will not remove it or can't resize the larger partition.

I tried most everything I know........HELP!!!

 

First off, let's put things in perspective here. If I had to give you $160 would you be that concerned if I was 2 cents short?

Anyway, have you tried erasing, partitioning and formatting from the XP Setup CD?

 

partition

I have had that happen to me as well. In my case it was a partition I couldn't see that the manufactor put the restore info on. After reformatting, that became the c drive, makeing the install of the OS on the formatted part. I was using a Maxtor drive and they have a utility on their site that will write "0" to the whole drive and make it as it came from the factory. This program ran from a floppy and wiped the WHOLE drive. Reinstalled XP Pro and was good to go.

 

Hi,

I assume with fdisk you have deleted everything and created a single parition of entire available space.


Am I right?
