Yes I realized just after I had sent it.
As for re-installing, I do have 3 partitions on the first 200 GB disk.
If I wipe the lot, I suppose it will then install on the 10GB
partition.
Instead of C: D: and E: I have at the moment H:, C: and unallocated
H: shows up as healthy boot and C: as healthy system

I can regain the other partitions from my storage. It will take time
but then that is the bother or maybe challenge of the computers.

sorry to be such a pest.
