502201 2006-11-26 06:00:00 Have a look in the bios for something like Hard Drive boot priority. It is most likely set to the 250GB. CYaBro (73)

502203 2006-11-26 06:43:00 ok

in dos/recov console

it thinks that the 250 is C:

and the 40gig is D:

which its vica versa

also theres a file i cannot delete what so ever on the 250

a flash ocx file which is rather strange o_o

502204 2006-11-26 22:57:00 How about removing the 250GB drive and reinitialising/reloading the 40GB drive. Get it established as the active partition and as the C: drive. When this looks OK, add in the other drive. linw (53)
