Anyhow the time was right to install everything from scratch here. I figured that starting from scratch would clean up a heavily dirtied registry and probably solve some problems I had before with some audio conflicts (never got tuareg to work for one)
In my numb eagerness I tried to reinstall windows on saturday morning.... well things did not go okay and I made the stupid mistake of getting online before getting my protective coat on; which resulted in cathcing some humongous virusses.
XP for some reason does not know fdisk anymore to format my drive; with the result now being that I have my system running again, but everything is starting from the D-drive and not the C-drive...
How do I make a clean break and reinstall the lot from scratch?
() it would be a good idea to get aversion of partition magic (I think, pm6 is freeware now) to do all the harddrive-work with that programm.
