How would the registry figure this out. Another way would be to use the control panel and remove then reinstall on the D: drive. There are other ways too. |

Added advantage is that if a virus or other nasty attacks the C drive then the data is still safe. Better though to have two hard drives and have your data on both of them. If one hard drive dies then you have your data. Unlikely that two hard drives will die at exactly the same time through wear and tear. As always backup your data to CDS or DVDs as well. |

| 397059 | 2005-10-18 07:44:00 | Yeah, well, it tells me there a third FAT32 volume called RECOVERY of 1.76 gb Ït also tells me "Healthy Unknown Partition"whatever that means? The Recovery Partition seems a bit big but it is just that, it contains tools to recover from a major meltdown - but what can you do if the meltdown is physical and you cannot access the hard disk at all. Dell did (does) this and Seagate used to put their install info on a "hidden" partition. Suggest copying for backup & Google for info on this one. Good luck |
