a few days ago my computer restarted while using that windows program to delete stuff in my C: drive to get some extra space, since it was running out. after that, it wouldn't boot! i got an error about dlls that couldn't be loaded or something. so today i got my windows cd again, and started to install it. after trying to "repair" the installation so as to not lose my data, i realized that it wasn't working, so i tried installing it to D: this time to see if I could keep stuff like my drivers which were apparently saved in C: (i really have no idea about this stuff). anyway, after installing it to D:, I realized that my E: drive (are they called drives? I have no idea; it used to say "C:," "D:," and "E:," in My Computer, but now only C and D appear, both with the sizes they used to have, meaning I'm missing a third of my hdd space!) WAS GONE! I tried looking up a fix, but everything was scrolling REEEEAL slow, so I went to the nvidia site and downloaded the drivers for my video card to see if that fixed the scrolling problem. during driver installation, I got a windows installer error, something about command line parameters or something, I just clicked "accept" and went to the driver installation again, it was going fine until the end, where it said something about the installation having been unsuccesful, I clicked accept again and it said that I had to restart my computer, which I did. at this point I noticed that I had two windows installations, one in C: (which didn't work because I only got a blank desktop - I could open the task manager but I couldn't run anything from it, since trying to run anything caused task manager to crash) and another in D:, which was the one I used to download the drivers again, after selectign the D: one, my computer just froze, so I restarted it and selected the D: one again, and it froze again, so I figured it had ****** up again. at this point I was really pissed off! so I installed windows again, this time in C: and formatting C:, and I'm currently using that one. I think. anyway, when I open "my computer" my E: partition is still missing! I haven't tried redownloading the drivers yet, because it'll probably just **** up my installation again. I'd like to at least get my E: drive back first, even if I lose everything in it! please tell me how I can fix this stuff. it's really getting on my nerves, because the windows installation takes really long, and I've installed it three times today already. tell me how to get my E: drive back, please!
