CA3LE Posted December 18, 2003 CID Share Posted December 18, 2003 see that's why you always partition your hard drive to have like 20% system side... and leave the rest of the space for your files... How big is your Harddrive ... ~ you don't have to loose everything by the way... go buy a harddrive .. transfer everything over to that... format the old one (partition it right this time, so that if you need to format in the future... it's easy and you won't lose anything)....... THEN, format the new harddrive after all your persoanl files are off and you are satisfied, and return it to the store... ~~ kinda messed up way to do things, but it works and the store won't think anything of it... just say the hard drive was acting up and you want your $ back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
