Hi Bob, Thanks for the input. I have posted this same message in several different
forums (2 posts were done in 2005) and no one had anything they could suggest. What
you say makes sense. One question - would the format be done in DOS? From what I
remember of my old dos commands, would it be cd\ then d\, then format? I suppose
I could live with the DISE on the comp, it only takes up about 25mb out of the 5gb
in the D: partition. But then again, it'd be nice to reclaim all the space, despite
the job of reviewing all files. I wonder if I could get a list of all files in DISE
by doing an explore on the D: partition and pulling up what's there? Honestly, from
the looks of things, there aren't that many DISE files (I was looking at the D: partition
earlier today). Last time I checked, I had about 1.9 GB available on the C: drive,
so I'm not totally out of space (yet, lol). Thanks again, and let me know about how
to format D:
