This is a newer unit with a 120 g hd, it came with a 89 mb partition that dell put there, i formatted and installed xp pro, this partition is still there and partition magic says there is a program running there, there is no sw running from dell, allready used fdisk to delete this part., but its still there, its only 89m b but its my drive not dells, how do i get rid of this partition???
I deleted mine by inserting the XP CD and when it gets to the pick a partition to install to, I just deleted all partitions. I then reformatted the whole HDD as one partition.
Originally I had wanted to keep the Dell partition just in case it might be useful at some point. But it was at the front of the drive, where I wanted to place a differrent partition, and I could not move it using Bootitng, but Bootitng did allow me to delete it.
