[Kungfucious]

not that i know of.. The only thing i was doing previous to creating the new partition was using Nero Drive Image to Mount a cd image which i had created.

Ive just noticed also that the image i had mounted is now undeleteable.. i think i may have left the image mounted whilst i was creating the new partition..crap!

Im not too fussed about looking the image file but do you think that this maybe the cause?

ill try deleting the image from dos.
