Looks like the site for your drivers etc.

That error:

The Partition you tried to delete is a system partition and my contain Diagnostics or hardware configuration programs, programs to start up Opperating Systems

Sounds like its got a recovery partition on it maybe?

On the post screen, (after you reboot), does it say to press a key to restore the system or similar?? Like F10?

If it does, thats how you restore the system to its original state.

Did you create any recovery CD's / recovery DVD?

623407 2007-12-21 22:57:00 Might have found it, reboot then press Ctrl+F11.

See if the restore screen appears.

If it does, follow what it says.
