Ok the best I can recall on the 'before' is this:
physical
Drive 0 Primary Master: 20GB <--1st partition of 40GB
Drive 1 Primary Slave: 120GB
Drive 2 Secondary Master: 20GB <--2nd partition of above 40GB
Drive 3 Secondary Slave: 12GB
Drive 4 CD-RW
logical
C: 20GB
D: 120GB
E: 20GB
F: 12GB
G: CD-RW
Currently
physical

no partitions
logical
D: 120GB
E: 40GB

don't know if this shot will help any but it's the best I can do
And when I checked through winxp manager all it said for boot up was 'normal'. This is all in an area usually dealt with by my computer guy so it's all things that I haven't had to really think about and consider. I'm not computer trained, most is self taught or what I've learned watching him or that he's told me about. Now he lives in a different city over 2 hours away and isn't able to get here very often so I'm trying to learn how to do more things myself. I appreciate the help very much but ask that you don't get overly technical in explaining otherwise I become one big question mark LOL Hopefully I've put things right so that you get the info you're after.
