Re: The Magical Ghost Partition

one advice would be to start in secured mode of win and simply delete
all the hard disk instances in the device manager.

at least, win98 sometimes gets confused by that as well, as i use two
external disk packs, which i dont use all the time.

as the internal (infernal) drives switch positions depending on the
amount of external disks switched on, they all have several instances
which are there (behind the scenes) all the time, and the
corresponding one is loaded ot boot time, so to speak.

another possible solution would be to remove the 2nd hard drive once
... boot in secured mode, delete all the instances of it, then add it
again and low-level format it. then create one primary partition using
up all the disk space.
