That sounds like you've installed to the manufacturer's recovery partition, using FAT32 rather than NTFS - and the install can't see the main partition, which is formatted NTFS. Your only way back rally is to start again from scratch, and read the instructions carefully! I'd reformat the whole drive, removing both partitions (assuming you have no data you need to keep on either existing partition), and install on a nice clean drive. -- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi www.crashfixpc.co.uk
