Thanks for the replies people; Now, the problem is that when I try to do FDISK at the C prompt, I get a "bad command or filename" reply. In fact I get that to almost anything I type. I did use P. Magic and I did the rescue disks before I ventured with partitioning but now I don't know what to do. I managed to get the P.Magic screen on the monitor but in the places where the drive letters should be there are only *. At a point I got the message: "exit Part.Magic and run the config.bat program in the btmagic.pq directory. I can not find this directory. Oh I wish I knew more but I gess this is the only way to learn. Please help... Thanks
