Garsh darnit! While trying to partition my drives, I don’t know what went wrong. I totally cleared my second 80gb, so it’s totally un-partitioned. And my windows 20g hd, is un-touched. Now when I boot my comp, it brings up this GRUB thing, where after sometext, displays “grub\>”. WTH is this? I tried messing around with CMOS boot settings but never worked. I tried to unplug my 2nd hd, but it didn’t work! PLease HELP ---

If there isnt to much on your Winblows drive just nuke it. That seems to be weird but i would just nuke it and reinstall and partition then. ---

I use Partition Magic 8.0 It formats and Create new partitions for Windows. 😃 Not for windows 2000 server and Windows me. :thumb: ---
