Help With Partitions =(

[alexis]

hmph a low level partition will delete all my partitions too? so i can start from zero again?

i guess that would be ok, i have a partition where ther eis supposed to be my pc restore files including my windows xp home, which i guess is a pre install. I can´t use it anyway but i guess i will back it up anyway. Speaking about that i also wonder if there is a way to get an xo cd, i mean i have the license, maybe i could make myself with a copy and pay less or sth.

strictly speaking, it's not a "low-lev" format but zeroing out every sector on the disk (only HDD for ancient XT PCs need to be low-level formatted. All IDE/SCSI disk used today can handle their manage their own disk geometry). But basically, the answer is yes, you can start off a clean state by zeroing the disk.

 

I assume you're referring to an "XP" cd. Well, search the usual warez sites, torrents if you need it. I can't really help you with that.

nah i am not talking about that, as i said i have an original license, but it is an old one from when there were no availabla cds just preinstalled version " to avoid piracy" i am looking for an original cd, i guess i will have to ask microshaft abput that

While you're at it, you should tell MS to shaft it for even selling such a ridiculous license in the first place. This whole "license but no CD" deal sounds no better than your average conjob.
