I tried to search for that model also and couldn't find it until I entered
the SN. I'll leave the small partition as is because Gateway claims they do
not even have access to my file any longer. It's all been sent to MPC, thank
you for your help

I cannot locate the Gateway model number you quoted on the Gateway web site.
You need to take care before deleting partitions. In addition to the restore
disks provided by Gateway they also, for some models, provide the same files
in a restore partition. If the restore disk become damaged or lost you can
restore your computer using the files in the restore partition. You can also
have 8 mb boot partitions, which should not be deleted. A restore partition
would be much larger than 8 mb.

Yes, I do have the Operating System disk and the driver and
application disk that came with my computer. Actually my computer is
still under warranty but Gateway is liquidating and no longer handles
support. I was defered to a MPC site that is supposed to be handling
Gateway's customers but they don't offer support either. If I delete
both partitions and create only one using the disks that came with my
pc will that reinstall the files that was originally on my D drive?

Hello Teri,
Please make it clear if changing the drive letter is what you want.
You can change the drive letters if you wish to of the partitions you
are talking about in Windows XP. If you believe that, that
partition is the one created by the vendor; then I assume it has the
backup of your preloaded OS in it. You could possibly lose that if
you delete that partition. Otherwise you dont lose anything if you
have been provided with the OS installation CD's along with the
system.
Hope I was able to help you.
warm Regards,
Bijoy.
