| | Re: operating system start/computer shows all accessible partitions on which your operating systems are installed. You can reformat them from there by right clicking. If one contains the system files, you will be unable to delete or reformat it until you move the system files.

| | Re: operating system Vanessa - if the procedure recommended by John Barnes works - great. However, if not, you need to provide more info - Does the computer boot? Number HD/Partitions - what are the installed OSs (ME Vista, XP)? In what order were they installed? Why were three installed (previous problems)? At boot are you offered an option as to which OS to start? If not which OS boots?

| | Re: operating system In addition to what AJR asks for, the best format to help you would be to go to drive management and list the specifics of any drives and partitions on them. i.e. drive 0 partition 1 System, boot, primary Windows Me partition 2 primary XP Pro Drive 1 partition 1, primary Vista, etc Drive letters can get confusing since they can be different from each OS, but you can include them if you want.
