Partition problem after System recovery

[geoffmcc]

Hello,

I have a emachine computer with winxp home. This has bolth recovery
disks and recovery partition. This is a 2part question. I hope someone
can help.


1. I used partition magic and made a 10g partition. Then later on
without even thinking about it I used recovery and wiped cpu clean. The

10g partition is no longer in my computer as well as does not even show

in disk managment. I reinstalled partition magic and it show the space
but it is all greyed out and can do nothing. Im sure if i hade a floppy

drive i could make a boot disk and use fdisk to solve but i dont so I
am stuck. I tried making a bootable cd w/ nero and found fdisk but it
looks different from what i am used to and i cannot seem to find what i

need. Any suggestions.


2. If i have a recovery cd and a recovery dvd as well as partition can
the partition be deleted to make more space and the cd's will still
work?


Thanks in advance
Geoff

In diskmgmt,L.click on the partition,go to action,all,format or delete it.Or
if
youre junk cds let you access recovery console,go thier,in recovery
typeiskPart
In DiskPart,create or delete a partition,press ESC key when thru,then type:
FORMAT D: /FS:ntfs D: being new partition.The same cmds can be ran thru
cmd prompt in xp.
