Re: Regaining HD from previous install

If you really meant 32mb free on D then that is insufficient
What size is your D partition?

I have been running a dual boot Win98SE and Win 2000-Sp4 for a few
months with very few problems or concerns ... until recently, that is.

First, Win-2000 lost it's pagefile.sys (which I fixed from info gained
here), but today it reported that the ntoskrnl.exe was either missing
or corrupt. Nothing I did or could find info on helped ... soooo, I
deleted (uninstalled) Win-2000.

I run 2 physical drives, partitioned into 4 (C,D,E,F) and had mounted
Win-2000 on drive "D" (first partition, second drive).

In trying to repair the original install, Win-2k reports no room left
on the drive when there was 32Mb free.

After uninstalling Win-2k and cleaning up the drive, a fresh install
attempt to drive "D", still says there is NO space left when there is
now over 36 Mb.

My question (finally) ... what is remaining that Win-2k reads that is
causing this and how do I recapture that drive for use with Win-2k?

Any help will be appreciated ...
