[MT-2500]

I did a complete flormat on it. And loaded a windows XP pro disk from another pc.
It had the HP windows xp with restore in pc. somehow I lost the windows xp and the restore would not restore from pc hard drive.
I also got jyped no disk came with PC all already loaded up.
I hate them deals.
I aslo tryed the XP restore I had saved on to cd's and it would not load.
I finaly got a windows 98 loaded on it but it came up with sereral partitions.
One of the was the restore partion and another one was about a 35 GB.
I think the 35 GB partition is the one hid out on hard drive.
At about the same time I found out both DVD rewrite and reg DVD CD drives were going bad and not reading the cd's right to reload windows.
I put in a good cd drive and reformated the Hard drive and loaded the windows XP Pro on it.
And copyed over and loaded most of my programs.
When I click on properties it shows 64.7 GB used and 63.2 GB free with capacity of 127 GB
Is there a easy way to find the hidden partition or make it show up?
Or can you post the best way to flormat it so i can get it all back.
Thanks MT
