I have been trying to repair my xp from my boot disk, but of course my
computer does not follow the steps listed in other threads here. I have xp
home with sp2 on a dell dimension 3100. here's what happens:
I boot from the disk... press ENTER to start setup... press F8 to accept the
agreement... but instead of getting a list of xp installations to choose
from i get a message about partitions that looks like this:
The following list shows the existing partitions and unpartitioned space on
this computer.
Use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to select an item in the list
- to set up Windows XP on the selected item press ENTER
-To create a partition in the unpartitioned space press C
-To celete the partition press D
-: Partition1 [FAT] 39MB (31 MB free)
C: Partition2 [NTFS] 73171MB (43928MB free)
E: Partition3 [FAT32] 3075MB (943MB free)
unpartitioned space 8MB
I have no idea what this is. when i select one it either says that it is
not able to install windows in that partition, or there is not enough space.
if someone could give me some help i would be very thankful!
