| 482127 | 2006-09-03 05:29:00 | irrelevant.......if this person has purchased a puter in nz from a retailer then that retailer is obligated to supply said puter with either 'recovery disks' or operating system disks or another method such as the 'hidden partition' they dont seem to havew gotten any of those........ | drcspy (146) | ||
| 482128 | 2006-09-04 10:20:00 | Forget looking for a partition, or the reported disc capacity. If you want to find if windows installation files are on your drive, then you need to search for the CABINET files (.cab) Try using the Start > Search function, search for 'all files' named *.cab If you find a folder with a bunch of .cab files, and a setup.exe in that or the directory immediately above these files, then you've probably got all that you need to reinstall windows or to search for drivers for additional hardware. from the command prompt on the appropriate directory type setup /? |more to get info on the various options for running the Windows setup. |
