Question

Had to reinstall to sort out the sound driver problem. I did an fdisk on the c partition and removed it. Now i reinstalled XP from CD and it found my existing D and E partitions but renamed them as C and D, so now i am installing XP on partition E.

How do i rename the partitions, as i cant rename a partition i am booted off ? Can you boot off CD like Solaris ?

You shouldnt have fdisked c: n y did u remove it? a format of c:\ would have done. Partition magic should be able to help u out if u have it. If not, erm you will have to live with it, unless u wipe the whole disc and start again :/

I have a 40gb disk with C (12gig) and D (rest) on it and a 63 gig disk that has E on it.

So i will have to dig out a copy of partition magic or blow away my D (copy 20gb of data to E) and format it.

So if (when haha) i have to reinstall XP again i just format c: then.
