Thanks, Cameron, my netbook does have two partitions, the one without volumn label is marked as Primary while the other with label of the standard C: and file system of NTFS. If I runs format c: would the system still be bootable but just with a clean C:\ ? If so, that would be superb. Googling has givens me a certain answer on this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
