483488 2006-09-09 09:08:00 sounds like hes partioned and formatted it in fat16 (was it fat16 that had the 2gig limit??)

you MIGHT be able to recover part of d drive with recovery software, depends on if it was overwritten or not.

i do not suggest letting your friend do anything (there was no need to install 98 to upgrade to XP).

483489 2006-09-09 09:16:00 Format it and when installing windows delete the partition and create a new one using NTFS. This should give you the max limit on the harddrive. trinsic (6945)
