1) to set up windows XP on the selected item, press enter

2) to create a partition in the unpartitioned space, press c

3) to delete the selected partition, press dQuote from: patio on September 22, 2009, 10:49:11 AM

Ohh. Like if I have microsoft office, but the CD cracks, I can download a copy. (but the copy didn't ask for my code) anyway...The problem has been solved - let it go.
