Re: Slave Drive has no drive assignment after XP reinstall



Damn it Andrew. ***STOP THIS NOW***!!!!!

The person SPECIFICALLY says she doesn't want to format the drive. So you
have her deleting the partition, creating a new partition and then
formatting the new partition.

It is obvious now that you "giving out" very DANGEROUS INFORMATION ***ON
PURPOSE*** -CONTINUALLY!

You are a dangerous threat my friend, much worse that any trojan or virus
that a person may get on their computer. I pity the person who ever does
what you suggest!
